“Determined to Detect Discrimination in Denver”

Denver Post: “They must be kidding. The lawyers at the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund — the folks who helped keep Denver’s schools in court-ordered shackles and a downward spiral into the 1990s — are rattling their sabers at Denver again and solemnly citing the Voting Rights Act over new council districts approved last week.

Never mind that three of Denver’s past four mayors have been minorities, notably including Federico Peña, and that of five at-large City Council candidates last year, the biggest vote-getter was Debbie Ortega.”
