Update on Redistricting Committee

Unfortunately, the committee formed to explore the redistricting idea decided in a 3-2 vote to table the idea until after the 2010 census. As expected, the three representatives from the west side were against redistricting, and the two reps from the east side supported the idea.

This recommendation will be presented to the Commissioners on Monday, Nov. 9th. Chances are, they'll go with the flow and not support redistricting at this time.

If and when this topic comes up again, we need to have a stronger show of support, or else the east side of the county will continue to be an after thought.
