- Description:
- Newspaper article regarding the Neighborhood Voters League accusations that the City of College Park was "dragging its feet" in the filing of a new ward redistricting plan to the Justice Department. The city was ordered to redraw voting wards and hold new city elections as soon as possible in 1977 by a federal court ruling in December. The Neighborhood Voters League was concerned that the city was not submitting the plan in time for an election to be held in 1977. They were also concerned that the plan would not adequately represent apartment residents.
