From the Times-Picayune:
A two-day workshop on the nitty-gritty process that guides redrawing political boundaries of the state’s congressional delegation, Legislature and other public bodies will be open to the public, not closed as originally planned, House Clerk Alfred “Butch” Speer said Wednesday.
Speer said the two-day session, which will not take any votes or binding actions, will begin today at 10 a.m. and will run through Friday at noon at the Parc England Hotel on the site of the old England Air Force Base in Alexandria.
Speer said he received an e-mail from Rep. Rick Gallot, D-Ruston, the chairman of the House Committee on House and Governmental Affairs, notifying all committee members that the retreat will be open to the public and the news media.
