Deviation From Ideal Population:

Largest District: 0.00% (3 persons)

Smallest District; 0.00% (3 persons)

The following plan was submitted by Sen. Okerlund, with some modifications made by the Committee.

    You had to split a town as tiny as Copperton?  Really?

    Well, it appears that you keep Rose Park whole but then you place us with Davis county. You come into our community, you “listen” to residents and then you completely ignore everything everyone said and draw lines without a thought. Rose Park is a small community that belongs in Salt Lake County.

    I still maintain that community integrity is more important than the artificially forced goal of 0% deviation of population on already old data (census) to be used for the next decade during which the population distribution will obviously change.  A multitude of unnecessary community division can, have and will, be reported.  These will created problems for county clerks in modifying precinct boundaries to conform to these broken town et al boundaries.

    If the intent is to avoid a lawsuit with 0%, I fear that will NOT work – logical natural geographical and community boundaries would be more defensible, and acceptable. 

    It is a difficult enough process as it is, without imposing this unnatural meaningless artificiality for a count in a moment of time.

    These comments apply equally to the legislative and congressional districts.

    This is reasonable for Tooele County.  Not exactly what we were hoping for…but a vast improvement over the previous base map.  We have enough of a population to have validity in each of the 2 senate districts.  Thanks for resolving so many issues that existed in the last map.

  • Suzette Green-Wright

    I agree that is a reasonable map for Tooele County.  I appreciate the Senate listening to our citizens on trying not to split us up too much.  Erda resident.

    The Rose Park/Bountiful/Centerville senate district is absolute proof that this committee blatantly ignored the public comments they wasted so much time and taxpayer money to hear. If you don’t believe that, take a look at the minutes and public comments from the Rose Park meeting (by far the most heavily attended): http://www.redistrictutah.com/meetings/rosepark

    “We can’t make everyone happy” is code for “we’re not even going to try unless your concerns fit our agenda”.

    Did the committee realize that although Herriman looks like it might be adjacent to Eagle Mountain, there’s a mountain range and an army camp in between? Is the senator for Eagle Mountain going to be interested in the concerns of what looks to be fewer than 1,000 voters in his sliver of Herriman? It seems like it should have been a requirement that a person be able to travel to all parts of a district without having to go through other districts.

    I live in the small sliver of Sandy about 9400 S and Riverside Dr.  You have drawn the lines down the middle of neighborhood streets causing across-the-street neighbors to have different Senators.  That doesn’t make any sense.
