After decades of gerrymandering by politicians of both parties, Michigan has the opportunity to finally have fair, balanced districts that reflect the diverse communities across our state. That's a goal everyone should be working toward.
The days of politicians drawing their own district maps end Tuesday, when the citizen-powered, nonpartisan redistricting commission begins a series of public meetings.
“Like our fight to end gerrymandering, a successful accountability campaign will require a robust, citizen-led effort,” writes the executive director of Voters Not Politicians.
