Hines Wins In Inpressive Style

This is the thrid in a series of posts concerning the 2007 elections

Democrat Gynn Hines collected three out of every four votes cast in the sixth district voting last night. Receiving nearly 78% of the vote, clearly showed the people of the district appreciated the economic development that has taken place in the southeast portion of Fort Wayne.

The redevelopment of the old Southtown Mall site served the southeast side of Fort Wayne well. It also improved the overall view of Fort Wayne when people enter the city on Highway 27, from the south. With the addition of the Wal Mart and Mennards provides a destination point for people living in the area and those living to the south of the city limits.

There was no surprise in Hines winning in the heavy democratic district. The margin of his win however was very impressive.

The people of the district used their votes to indicate they did not care about the concerns of some regarding how the mechanics of the redevelopment took place. To them, the end results justified the means taken to accomplish the goal.
