The way Colorado s House Districts are currently laid out.
Which counties Routt County is grouped with for its state house district was the main focus of a joint Independent Redistricting Commission meeting Friday, with nearly every one who spoke sharing their thoughts on the makeup of the potential district.
One of the parameters for creating these districts says commissioners should try to group together communities of interest, or areas that share unique characteristics that make collective representation important.
Much of the discussion focused on what interests of the community are important, with some saying the tourist economy should be the focus, while others stressing that the extraction and energy production interests of the county were just as important.
