There is a unique opportunity this month for Syracuse residents to take part in a fair and open process that puts redistricting in the voters hands. It s also the first time the city has redrawn its lines in 20 years. Members of the independent redistricting commission - not elected or government officials - will determine the areas City Councilors represent. Onondaga County Elections Commissioner Dustin Czarny is optimistic about the outcome.
“I think you’re going to see some maps come out of this that make sense to the people, and will have more competition because of that, and a greater connection to our government.”
