Bay Area redistricting hearing set for May 21
By Lisa Vorderbrueggen
Thursday, April 21st, 2011 at 4:20 pm in redistricting.
Bay Area residents and organizations with something to say about the shape of California’s political districts may speak at a local hearing on May 21 in Oakland.
The Citizens Redistricting Commission will take public input from 2-5 p.m. at Oakland City Council Chambers, 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza in Oakland.
It’s part of a statewide series of redistricting hearings prior to the scheduled June 1 release of the commission’s draft maps. Residents may attend any or all the meetings, of course, but it’s nice to find one a little closer to home. Click here to access the full schedule.
Voters created the independent, 14-member Citizens Redistricting Commission and charged with the decennial drawing of California’s congressional, legislative and Board of Equalization districts. By statute, it must adopt final maps by Aug. 15.

Lisa, If the CRC doesn’t meet the Aug. 15 deadline, who then does the redistricting?
