US Magistrate and Special Master, Roanne Mann, set a March 12 deadline, to produce final Congressional district maps with a public hearing on that proposal set for March 15. Throughout the proceeding, both the three-judge panel and the Magistrate emphasized the short-time frame by which the work must be accomplished and set clear deadlines and criteria by which the map drawing will be accomplished. Common Cause is one group that has a Congressional map, and they turn our area into the 19th District (currently it is the 20th), and make it a much more east-west district than the current district that runs north to Saratoga.
