Late Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi (R-Delaware) posted what he said was the final map of Senate districts which incorporates more than 150 requests made by Senate Democrats.
“I want to thank everyone who took the time to contact the Commission during the public comment period to share their thoughts on the Preliminary Plan, both pro and con,” said Sen. Pileggi. “We heard from interested residents across the Commonwealth at public hearings, by email and by postal mail. In the proposal I circulated to my fellow commissioners earlier today, I have tried to address as many of the concerns which were raised regarding the Senate map as possible.”
This proposed Final Plan reduces the total number of county splits in the Senate map, including these changes:
-- Cumberland County has two senators, rather than three.
-- Northampton County has four senators, rather than five.
-- Perry County has two senators, rather than three.
-- Westmoreland County has four senators, rather than five.
-- York County has four senators, rather than five.
This proposed Final Plan splits 28 counties, the same number as the Preliminary Plan – and one fewer than the existing plan, approved in 2001, which splits 29 counties.
Copies of the Senate district maps are available online.
