Public forum on re-districting

A forum on re-districting in Oconee County will be conducted as a virtual forum in which the public has an invitation to attend.  The sponsors—Oconee Branch of NAACP and the League of Women Voters of Oconee and Pickens, say the Monday, January 10 event, from 5 to 6:30 pm, will serve the dual purpose of raising awareness on the potential impact on county residents for the next 10 years.  Forum presenters will be David Root, attorney for Oconee County, and Dr. John Ruoff, described as a re-districting expert.  Information will be offered about the process underway by the county council, including discussion of maps, plans for public hearings, and other ways for citizen input.  Links to the video-conference will be posted on the NAACP and LWV websites.
