  1. …about how it’s a hundred miles from P-town to New Bedford, but I’ll be going to the hearing.

    <

    p>Or maybe we’re supposed to be going to Quincy for the 10th?  Like that’s any better?

  2. Congress – the 4th, which at one point only connects one town to another by a corner.

    <

    p>State House – has to be what used to be Barbara L’Italien’s (17th Essex, I think), which has a precinct here and a precinct there of 2 wards of Haverhill and five other cities and towns.

    <

    p>State Senate – a little trickier as I’m not using a map, but I think 3rd and 4th Middlesex both snake from north to south, as does Middlesex & Worcester now that I think of it.  My own district (2EM) as the issue of Dracut not being really being attached to any of the other communities unless you count swimming across the Merrimack.

    p>I like history, politics, and maps; therefore my favorite feature on the website was the historical district maps.  It’s interesting to see which other communities your own was formerly yoked with.

    • That’s Ross’s district (and Scott Brown’s old district).  It stretches from Wayland and Needham on one end to Attleboro on the other.  And it’s never more than a town wide, in Natick and Wellesley only a portion of a town.

      <

      p>I suspect that district will become more compact in the next round.  The Northern end is supposed to make it competitive for a Democrat, but I imagine it will just be ceded.

      • There MAY be more hearings; your own rep is the best point person to ask “could we get a hearing in [fill in town HERE] since hearings are being scheduled all the way into June anyway?  My bet is that your rep and senator could get a hearing closer to you, as well as that this list may not be complete; it was simply the best list I could locate to give everyone at BMG the best heads up on an important issue I knew how to give.

  3. Somerville City Democratic Committee Meeting

    <

    p>Re-Districting:
    What is it all about?
    April 5th 7 pm
    Somerville High School Auditorium
    Highland Ave, Somerville

    <

    p>Special guest, Representative Mike Moran (Brighton) House Chair of Elections will present the ins and outs of re-districting.  We’ve all heard about it. We’ve all speculated on the big picture. What  about our districts? What about our city? Where will be? Will I still have “my” precinct?
