Michigan’s Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission has started its series of public meetings across the state. It is gathering input from residents about how they’d like the commission to draw the state’s new political maps. MichMash hosts Jake Neher and Cheyna Roth talk about one big question that keeps coming up during these meetings.
