Public hearings on N.J. redistricting process draw few attendees
One of New Jersey’s 13 Congress members is going to lose a job next year, but from all appearances the public seems unfazed.
A commission held public meetings on redistricting today in two cities — Newark and New Brunswick — but only about 30 people showed up at each.
Even those involved in the slicing and dicing of House districts — a 13-member panel is formed every 10 years to redraw boundaries for House members — acknowledge interest seems to be lacking. (Friedman, The Star-Ledger)
