How are you counted? Fight over data at center of census redistricting debate herald-review.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from herald-review.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
The significant delay of the release of 2020 census data as well as politics surrounding the count have created problems for lawmakers deciding how to draw Illinois’ legislative maps.
Normally, there is little debate over which data to use. The census data is available and used by lawmakers to understand how the state’s population has changed over the last decade. This year, factors including the pandemic and policies by the Trump administration, have delayed the release of the full census data until late summer. It has left lawmakers quarreling over whether they should use the census data or the American Community Survey data.
Illinois state senators heard from members of Springfield s east side community on what lawmakers should know about Springfield as they tackle the redistricting process.
The hearing was open to any members of the public wishing to share their thoughts with lawmakers. Four witnesses testified Friday asking lawmakers not to change the legislative boundaries in Springfield to protect communities of interest.
Two witnesses drew more questions from Senate Republicans, however.
Senators heard from Erica Austin, Springfield School Board member who represents a district on the city s east side. Austin lives in the 96th House district represented by Sue Scherer, D-Decatur, and 48th Senate district represented by Doris Turner, D-Springfield. The district encompasses neighborhoods that are majority Black in Springfield and Decatur.
