The East Bay Citizen’s Nicholas Terry attended Tuesday night’s Alameda County Board of Supervisors redistricting meeting in Dublin. Here’s a rundown of his LiveTweeting of the meeting, the first of six in the next 10 days across the county. Follow him on Twitter @NicholasTerry and @eastbaycitizen.
I hope more citizens show up at redistricting meetings; I was the only regular Joe in the place. Didn’t speak; would have been kicked out. #ALCOredistricting

Anonymous…learn to spell or they'll get you…no need for racists comments…doesn't help your “cause.” Maybe pick up a book and learn about the tri-valley before you type. Plenty of whites, blacks, asians and indians in the tri-valley, getting along too.

Little Shot–the racist comments were written by tea party activists and others who follow your posts. You should at least be man enough to admit it even if you don't condone it. There–I said it!

The “white” comments are no doubtedly written by a Democrat who has closet racist and or perverted thoughts.

All the anonymous comments against other races…they prove no point and are PROBABLY written by some trying to get idiots to think some Republican Conservative wrote them; truth be told, its easy for us to connect those comments to others written previously that share a liberal point of view (telibatardchnology is great). Say what you want to say, but anyone with HALF a brain knows better.

It's a rancid cloud of Indian filth. I'm in the process of organizing a political activist group for the tri valley “Keep Pleasanton White Brigade” or KPWB for short. If Dublin wants communist homosexual Indian and slant eyed garbage in their town more power to them BUT beware. if you filth ridden camel jockeys or your spawn attempt to cross over to the holy white promised land across the freeway you will be met by stern resistance from KPWB!!

Once again, Anonymous…what about the LARGE Asian and Indian population in the Tri-Valley? Come on out, you'll see them in the community…the are my neighbors, they are out, walking daily and nightly in groups (which is nice to see families still taking walks)…looks like YOU are the one living in the past. I've never seen Dublin Police (Alameda County Sheriffs) doing their job like they have lately…maybe small crimes, but it's not all perfect over here. Again, come check it out, the colors of our rainbow are mixed. Don't be a racer.

Local Dem Chairwoman said Map B is sexest.
Haggerty does what many wouldn't allows a speaker time to get to meeting; should have closed meeting.
Long awaited speaker arrives; has 2 new maps; they benefit incumbents; Sups question his residency.
I huffed loud at Haggerty; if looks could kill.
This redistricting is a joke; the politician benefits, not the people; you'll see.
Local Dem Chairwoman says new Map C is racists; takes Hispanics away from Lockyer.
All maps guarantee incumbents a re-election.
