I doubt that we will find “average citizens” on the panel.
Instead, they will be carefully selected by the same darn politicians that have abused the process for years.
How are you liking Colorado? Nice to see ya around here! :-)
Great... the last few years I’ve lived here.
The panel is admittedly flawed. But I doubt we have anything better and the selection process is supposed to be open and the hearings are supposed to be public and the maps compiled according to objective, non-partisan criteria. Its still better than letting the politicians abuse us behind closed doors.
I hope you do get competitive elections (finally) there. That is my prayer.
