The commission has uploaded some new draft maps. The only thing that's common among all of them is that they fixed that awful UP district. But this one is very different from the first draft, and I really like this one:

Re: For all you rubes that thought an "independent" commission was needed
Federal law requires that districts don't deviate too much from the target population. For state legislative districts, a deviation of 5% is allowed. For congressional districts, a deviation of I think 1000 people is allowed

The districts? Or Michigan annexing Lucas and Wood Counties?

Re: For all you rubes that thought an "independent" commission was needed
Canton and Wayne are on MI 12 on the way to Ann Arbor, and they're all quite milennialish. Ann Arbor fits in with those better than it does with any of the other options, such as Lenawee, Downriver, Livingston, or Jackson. It's probably the best option. Monroe County wouldn't be such a problem if Lu...

Re: For all you rubes that thought an "independent" commission was needed
I agree that Detroit should have been unified.
Monroe County would fit in with unified Downriver and Dearborn/Dearborn Heights.
Ann Arbor and the eastern townships of Washtenaw County should be with South Lyon and NW Wayne County

Do you have a URL where it can be found? I would love to take a look at it.

Re: For all you rubes that thought an "independent" commission was needed
The state senate draft map is alright. But the congressional map is really bad. District 1 puts Melvindale and Allen Park with distant communities like Center Line. District 7 puts South Downriver communities like Wyandotte and Woodhaven with distant areas that they have very little in common with s...

Local level census results have been released
Detroit has gone down to 639K from 713K in 2010. Duggan thinks the city was undercounted, I don't doubt it. Dearborn has reached 109K (98K in 2010). Canton (90K in 2010) came close to reaching 100K, but only got to 98K, and Livonia (which had 96K in 2010) actually decreased to 95K. So Wayne County n...

Re: DeFy,TruReal & GetTV INVADE Metro Detroit
I actually really like these channels. I just discovered the Curse of Oak Island, and I am hooked. I just wish they wouldn't have marathon scheduling every day.

Re: DeFy,TruReal & GetTV INVADE Metro Detroit
And Court TV is in HD now. I didn't think that WPXD would affiliate with any non-Scripps owned diginets. Don't expect Rewind TV to end up on 31 though, GetTV pays their affiliates, Rewind and Antenna dont. Still pretty cool I am looking forward to Defy and TrueReal. I don't know why Storage Wars is ...

This is just so sad. I don't know how someone can do that to a poor little defenseless birdy.

Re: 20 may dump AntTV; Rewind TV launching
Assuming that WMYD doesn't dump Antenna TV, I'd say the most likely place that Rewind TV will end up is WDIV 4.5
