You wouldn't know it by looking at their web site, but the first public meeting of the New Jersey Congressional Redistricting Commission is scheduled for Thursday. They are supposed to receive input from the public, but the "public" will only show up if they know about the session. If you are astute enough to poke around the state legislative web site, you'll learn that the meeting is Thursday at the Gordon Theater on the campus of Rutgers-Camden at 2:00 PM. Blue Jersey will be there.

Yes. (0.00 / 0)

It would be a good idea to fix that. It doesn't look good. And anything that forces the citizenry to root around on the internet for info that should be a simple, direct look-up ... well, not so good.

It's not a particularly snappy signature, but here's what I think we need in the next NJ Democratic State Chair.

Partial Success (0.00 / 0)

Hallelujah! Several hours after I posted this, the web site is "live". At least they formally announced the meeting in Camden, but are still silent about the public meetings in New Brunswick and Newark.

For some background, the kickoff meeting of the committee was held earlier this month. A synopsis and some comments by Democratic State Chairman Wisniewski are at this link.
