Appearing at a Port Huron public hearing may have been the biggest thing these people had in common Tuesday.
Dozens of residents from around the Thumb offered comment this week on anything from their own views of the region’s communities of interest to how those communities should be grouped together to the state commission tasked with redrawing Michigan’s political boundaries
In many cases, speakers disagreed on what factors members of the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission should consider before they finalize new lines for more than 100 congressional, state House and state Senate districts.
Although they’re asking the Michigan Supreme Court for a longer timeline, the commission currently must finalize new boundaries with public input by Nov 1.
