On Center

Looks like the main event in downtown this week is the current round of county redistricting proposals. Pct. 2 Commissioner Mark Jones has scheduled a community meeting tonight from 6-7:30 p.m. and another on Thursday, from 1-3 p.m. at the county offices, 111 Front Street in Kyle. In addition to the question and answer sessions, all of the proposed maps will be on view Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m in the foyer of the county building. The first of three public hearings will be held on Monday, July 25 at 6 p.m. at the Hays County Courthouse.
Now’s the time to get involved and express your opinion about how the county should be represented. There’s talk of splintering Hometown Kyle from Pct. 2 and putting it in a district with Dripping Springs. You’ve got to see these maps to believe them. Redistricting only happens every 10 years so, this is your chance to get involved and let these folks you put into office know what’s on your mind.
