What Others Are Saying About Redistricting

I'm back, but I'm not ready yet to post more on redistricting.  They had their Anchorage public hearing on Monday while I was out of town and now they are off on trips all over the state for public hearings.

In the meantime, you can see what others (yes, others* are starting to write about this) have written:

    *Patty Epler at the Dispatch and Margaret Bauman have been to some of the Anchorage meetings.   The only things I've seen at the Anchorage Daily News have been two short revisions of the Board's press releases such as this one.  There's also been some brief television coverage.

    UPDATE April 21:  I should have included the AFFR (Alaskans For Fair Redistricting) website which has reports on the Anchorage and Fairbanks post hearings, maps of Anchorage districts, and a list of pairings of incumbent legislators.

      There's a follow-up article in the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner on the 20th:

      Some buzz on Facebook also helped give some visibility.
