Inner city communities, black and brown neighborhoods, have been on the short end of the stick\u201d when it comes to city services, Rodriguez said.<\/p>\n<p>Rodriguez is committed to not only representing the people of the 22nd ward, but also involving them in the process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore we circulated petitions, we talked to 250 voters at 60 different meetings.
