EARLIER: The Indiana House Elections and Apportionment Committee has scheduled a second public hearing on proposed congressional and legislative redistricting maps, but it will be held even earlier than the one announced before.

The public hearing will be held in the Indiana House Chamber at the Statehouse on Wednesday, Sept. 15 — one day after the expected release of the proposed maps. A second hearing, scheduled for Sept. 16, was announced last week as part of Republican legislative leaders’ redistricting timetable.

Starting times for both hearings have not been announced.

According to the House Republicans’ communications staff, committee chairman Tim Wesco (above), R-Osceola, “added the meeting to provide another opportunity for the public, including those who observe Yom Kippur, to provide input on the maps.” Yom Kippur begins on the evening of Sept. 15.  — The Indiana Citizen
