The agenda item says that city council members are set to approve and adopt a redistricting plan for the city of Houston based on the 2020 census data.
As KPRC 2 reported, the city said the proposed changes are a matter of balancing population growth. The changes could mean some historic neighborhoods change districts. RELATED: City Council holds hearings to receive suggestions from public on proposed redistricting plan. Here’s what you should know There’s been a series of public hearings that allow for comments and suggestions from the public regarding the proposed redistricting plan. Dr. Laura Murillo with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was at the council meeting Wednesday. She said it’s an important issue with a lot at stake.
“As we understand it, we must be at the table in order for our issues to be heard and it is time to have more representation that is reflective of the demographics,” Murillo said. “If we aren’t at the table then we don’t have the opportunity to address those issues and once again redistricting will play a very important part.”Copyright 2022 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.
