Too many Broward County city commissions remain overwhelmingly White.
Not for long.
With more minorities registering to vote, change is coming to city halls.
Take Sunrise.
It has:
-
23,084 White voters
-
16,281 Black voters
-
13,474 Hispanic voters
How long can Sunrise continue to have an all-White commission?
Or Plantation.
It has:
-
35,306 White voters
-
10,571 Black voters
-
9,393 Hispanic voters
Yet the Plantation City Commission and mayor are White.
Or North Lauderdale.
It has:
-
11,085 Black voters
-
3,928 White Voters
-
3,403 Hispanic Voters
The mayor and three of the four commissioners are white.
Fair?
Or Pembroke Pines
It has:
-
38,993 Hispanic voters
-
37,113 White voters
-
19,008 Black voters
The mayor and three of the four commissioners are non-Hispanic Whites.
Or Weston
It has:
-
19,003 White voters
-
14,747 Hispanic voters
-
1,755 Black voters
Three of the four commissioners and the mayor are non-Hispanic Whites.
I wish you had included Tamarac.
