Madison County board member Chris Guy presented two redistricting maps with 29 and 27 districts for the board to review as alternatives to the 25-district map proposed by Chairman Kurt Prenzler.
“I think it’s in the board’s hands and the public to provide input to decide which direction to go,” Guy said at a Government Relations Committee meeting on May 19.
The meeting was held shortly before county board members rejected Prenzler’s map at a board meeting held that evening.
Guy thanked Prenzler for opening the door to the discussion, saying they would not be exploring the possibility of reduction “without you bringing it to the stage.” He added that they owe it to the taxpayers to discuss all options.
