Florida Redistricting - Public Hearings

Description

The Florida Chamber of Commerce held a webinar about the issues possibly surrounding the Florida Redistricting.  To accurately reflect changes in population, Florida's political boundary lines must be redrawn every 10 years.  With the latest census completed in 2010, redistricting will now begin in 2012.  Legislative leaders are holding public hearings throughout the state to seek public input.  Due to the redistricting process, all 160 seats in the Florida Legislature and Florida's 27 Congressional seats will be up for election in 2012.  Note that Florida recently added two congressional seats due to our population growth since the last census in 2000.  For more information about Florida's redistricting, visit www.floridaredistricting.com.  This meeting's information will be added to the chamber's community calendar.  The following meeting is currently scheduled.
