House Redistricting Committee: Public Hearing Schedule

by: Zandra Rice Hawkins

Wed Oct 05, 2011 at 15:00:58 PM EDT


(Very Important Stuff... Please turn out and let Zandra know. - promoted by Mike Hoefer)

As referenced in a diary last week, the House Redistricting Committee - or at least the Chair of such, due to public pressure - has released a list of upcoming public hearings to solicit feedback on the redistricting process. (Don't bother looking for a plan to comment on, because there isn't one.)

All meetings start at 7:00 p.m. I'm posting the full list here along with the chair or vice chair who will be running it. If you can make it, please let us know. We'd love to send you information on back channels to assist with good questions to ask and points to make in your respective area(s).

Thursday, October 13th at 7:00 p.m.
Carroll County - Mountain View Community Nursing Home, Ossipee (Rep. Mirski)
Hillsborough County - Nashua Public Library, Theatre Room, Nashua (Rep. Bates)

Tuesday, October 18th at 7:00 p.m.
Belknap County - Belknap Mill, 25 Beacon Street East, Laconia (Rep. Mirski)
Cheshire County - Keene Public Library Auditorium, Keene (Rep. Bates)

Thursday, October 20th at 7:00 p.m.
Grafton County - UNH Cooperative Extension, 3855 Dartmouth College Highway, N. Haverhill (Rep. Mirski)
Rockingham County - Hilton Auditorium, Rockingham County Nursing Home, Brentwood (Rep. Bates)

Tuesday, October 25th at 7:00 p.m.

Merrimack County - Merrimack County Administration Building, Basement Conference Room, Concord (Rep. Bates)

Additionally, if you have points or questions to consider (keeping in mind that this is a public forum), post them here or email them to us on the link provided above and we'll help re-circulate. Thanks, all.

In an Alternative Universe... (4.00 / 2)
Take a look at the Web site the Massachusetts Special Joint Committee on Redistricting created this spring to inform the citizens of the Commonwealth.

Might be a good model for our committee, don't you think, Rep. Mirski?


It's a shame (4.00 / 3)
that the state that gave us gerrymandering, and whose former speaker/best pal of NH's current speaker was disbarred for shady redistricting can now be held as an example of states doing a better job of redistricting than New Hampshire.

The O'Brien Circus of Chaos continues... (4.00 / 1)


Have you registered for the Sept 24 State Convention yet?

Do we have a united message to convey? (0.00 / 0)


Working on detailed ones, but toplines include: (0.00 / 0)
1) Where is the plan? (It should have been drafted and circulated by now)

2) Who's drafting the plan? (No one has been appointed by the committee to do so)

It's hard for the public to give feedback on something as open-ended and unwieldy as redistricting with such little information. Which, I think, is the point of how this process is happening ...
