Adjustments In Redistricting for Wicomico County

Council Member Stevie Prettyman, msa.md.gov

The Wicomico County Council will take a look at some small changes in the redistricting map during its session tomorrow.

There have been concerns about the cost and a number of precincts that have as few as four people.

And the council members have asked officials to adjust small parts of the map before they give their blessing.

The proposed redistricting plan would have increased the number of precincts from 38 to 50 at a cost of $800 a piece.

Council member Stevie Prettyman told the Salisbury Daily Times it’s important because the plan is going to be in effort for the next 10 years.
