The first public hearing on Kings County redistricting was met with criticism on the nature of the hearings and saw a hearing added to compensate for inaccurate contact information.
The hearing took place as part of the Board of Supervisors regular meeting Tuesday, but was hindered by Tripepi, the firm tasked with outreach, releasing inaccurate information redistricting, some of which was published by the Hanford Sentinel.
County Counsel Diane Freeman recommended the board hold another hearing on Tuesday, July 27 because some members of the public tried to send written statements to the wrong email. Written statements and questions can be sent to redistricting@co.kings.ca.us.
