Drawing the Lines
State lawmakers are drawing new maps for the State House and Senate, as well as U.S. Congressional Districts. What will this mean for Central Oregon? Against the backdrop of Census data delays and a packed legislative session, Oregon lawmakers are embarking on the once-a-decade process of redistricting, in which they redraw the lines for state House and Senate districts, along with the U.S. Congressional Districts based on shifts in population. In order to evenly distribute the population, each Oregon Senate district will need to be around 138,00 people and each House district will need around 69,000 people. Central Oregon s districts are far over those marks and will need to shed numbers. But while experts predict that these districts will shrink, they will likely stay true to shape.

Commissioners determine expense not worth it for single ballot measure
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) On the agenda at Monday afternoon s Deschutes County Board of Commissioner s meeting: non-partisanship.
The three commissioners, including a newcomer who raised the issue, are looking toward the future, when one day their seats might not be affiliated with a political party.
“We have the opportunity to make running for office, a simpler, shorter and less expensive process,” Commissioner Phil Chang, a Democrat, said.
Chang, the newest member of the board, campaigned on making the position of county commissioner non-partisan last November.
