The Illinois Senate is kicking off the once-in-a-decade process of drawing new state House, Senate and Congressional district boundaries with five public meetings across the state, beginning March 28 and continuing into April. Residents are invited to tell members of the Senate Redistricting Committee about their communities and representational needs by speaking at the meetings, which have been scheduled for Chicago (March 28), Springfield (April 6), Kankakee (April 16), Peoria (April 16) and Cicero (April 19). Additional hearings will likely follow.
