Redistricting Meeting Saturday

Deciding districts for lawmakers; it’s sometimes a controversial process. Saturday, Bend citizens can come out and make their suggestions that may shape state government for years to come. It's your chance to get on record. Every 10 years the Legislature and Congress redraws the lines. A lot of growth in Deschutes County makes the conversation very important right now. Lawmakers will be taking local public comment tomorrow at OSU -Cascades Campus in Cascade Hall from 10 to 1 p.m. State Senator Chris Telfer of Bend is the Senate Redistricting Committee Vice-Chair. They are doing a series of hearings across the State and unfortunately had to cancel their first one: "Well, we were supposed to go to Tillamook last Friday, but it was probably the first time in history that it got cancelled because of a tsunami!" They had hearings scheduled for today in La Grande and Burns. They plan to reschedule the Tillamook hearing.
