COSMOPOLIS, Wash. - Cosmopolis talked redistricting this week and as Mayor Vickie Raines described a recent analogy to her council "You have a water balloon, when you squish the water balloon in one area it's going to get larger in another area, and that's kind of what they have to do to make us all fit."
