This file contains the prepared speech that attorney Bill Aleshire delivered to the Central Texas Democratic Forum on September 10, 2012, in which Aleshire advocated for passage of Proposition 3 on the November 6, 2012 ballot. Proposition 3 calls for a City Charter change to have 10 council members elected from geographic districts and the mayor elected at-large, and a nonpartisan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission to draw council districts the City Council would have no choice but to adopt.
