PUBLIC HEARING ON STATE REDISTRICTING SET FOR FEB. 15 IN ROCHESTER

Rochester, N.Y.--  A public hearing on state Assembly and Senate redistricting will be held in Monroe County on Wednesday, February 15.

The State Legislature redraws district lines every 10 years, based on Census data. The lines determine who will represent you in the Assembly and Senate. Proposed maps were released recently and can be viewed here.

The public hearing will take place on 11:30 a.m. on February 15 in the Chambers at the Monroe County Office Building, Room 406 on the fourth floor, 39 West Main Street.

Anyone interested in presenting a five-minute oral testimony regarding whether the community's best interests are being represented under the proposed new lines can sign up here or call Diana Weissman at 212-618-1101. People planning to speak at the hearing must provide 10 copies of their testimony.
