An article by 5 Eye Witness News reports a proposal that would change the number of wards and council members in the Minneapolis City Council.
The reporter, Todd Wilson, was able to bring one important issue from the meeting and make it his main story. The proposal would have the council redraw the 13 wards into fewer wards, which would result in four city council members losing their positions. Wilson provided background information including what wards are like now, and what wards will be if the proposal is approved.
Wilson interviewed Tom Basting, who proposed the plan, and a ward city council member. These two sources were relevant to the story, and the interviews were separate from the meeting itself.
The story was interesting, but was a little confusing. It's unclear what the effects of a system like this would have, and Wilson only provided Basting's perspective on it. Basting's explanation was a little vague, so if more people input their own explanations, it would help to understand why the system might be needed.
