Non vaccinated people. Covid is spreading so fast it’s going to affect everything again
Finding people who will work and stay at a job
Drudgery to check in always whether we have symptoms etc.. Just one more step to add to all the others in getting care for my husband
As always, dissension and big hoopla ... Keep revising the map etc.. Unlikely to accomplish anything productive and even if finding a solution, it will cause more uproar as always
Unvaccinated people must be vaccinated or be jailed.
I’m not driving home tomorrow I’m driving right there
That the can redistrict but it doesn't mean that republican congress in our state will try to pull something so it gets gerrymandered to thier benefit.
I have read articles in the Detroit Free Press about their work.
Cutting welfare and getting people to work.
I have read some of the press releases that they put out.
I haven't seen or heard much about it other than YouGov surveys
They are still meeting and the Republicans don't like the whole idea.
education but putting the focus on compensation for teachers
Providing extra time for the things we must all do to avoid the possibility of contact with the virus.
Have read a little online, but not enough to understand completely what it will accomplish
Getting rid of the income tax and property taxes
Nothing lately. But I'm sure I'll hear all about it nearing this next election.
Minority voters would be unable to elect candidates who express their interests, violating civil rights.
Close to having finalized maps and more political than I naively thought it would be
I applied to be part of the commission. I get regular updates on it.
Joblessness and housing and homelessness
I’ve seen some data and proposals m as ps but haven’t investigated closely
Our overburden healthcare system due to the coronavirus
Ferreting out, resting, and imprisoning all of the traders who continue support Donald Trump and his lies about the 2020 election
I don’t think that the Covid pandemic has impacted my experience is a caretaker much
The redistricting commission was a Ballot initiative that intended to remove congressional district in in the hands of politicians and put it in the hands of the people with an eye toward reducing partisan politics and gerrymandering
I received an invitation to be considered but I turned it down because of my health. My brother also received an invitation and agreed but he wasn't chosen
That they have been meeting regularly and remotely to work on this. It seems as though it is impartial and fair. I think it will be a huge improvement over the legislative process.
Not transparent. Some bickering . Still influenced by special interests.
That they said they would be transparent and open meetings, but have had a closed session that they are not allowing the public to know what happened at it.
getting rid of the free lunch money and making people go back to work
That they will favor the Democrats in elections!
Other than possibly violating the open meetings act, and they were having a hard time partially due to the 2020 census being delayed.
People working for satan and not for God.
It has heightened the amount of time spent on care giving
working for the people-economy-covid restrictions
That they have created numerous maps, that several parties have complained about their group not getting their share of representation, and that they are being sued to disclose details of closed door meetings.
that there are changes to how it's being done
Fair elections for all and eliminating gerrymandering
Still issues but better than partisan maps
Even though they are supposed to be neutral they are not.
Only that it has been meeting, haven't seen any new districts drawn out yet.
Very little. I wish I'd been selected for it.
Needing to help my sister get her Covid shots.
I have received regular updates from Voters Not Politicians, the group that passed the initiative. I also volunteered for Voters Not Politicians by recruiting signatures for the vote proposal. However, I know there are groups that are trying to find ways around the redistricting.
I just briefly heard something about it on my local news
Great program and give it time it will work
Making it not profitable not to get back to work!
Many are upset with the commission and what they have done.
how to get people to believe in government
That the districts being drawn up are not any better-that depending on which plan theygo with one party will end up with more advantage.
Conflict resolution is badly needed for our leaders to govern well.
Realization that we all depend on each other.
Probably heard it on am the radio, our usual news source.
Worry that they will get Covid from me, so I no longer have a social life.
The Republicans are trying to control the others!!
That this could correct gerrymandering. Which I think is good.
Actually I’m not sure what Ihave heard is factual
Not much of anything. I know they've meet but that is about it.
The usual news stories, and that they need more time to complete the redistricting.
I have seen their potential districts and think they are discriminatory
That everyone who is eligible can vote and no laws exist to overturn our votes
Not a lot but am expecting it will be better than if left to our Republican state congress
Heard good and bad things. I think the process can be abused and has been abused in the past, but I understand there are sometimes legitimate reasons for the change. I think there is a lot of election fraud going on in every single swing state, so shenanigans from BOTH sides deeply concern me.
Poverty for many especially the elderly and disabled.
Incentivize people to work and not stay home, and help those of us living at poverty levels.
Not much impact because I was able to use in home health services for her, but in a very limited capacity.

Trying to keep her vaccinated and boosted so she won't get covid
That there could be some political bias in these endeavors
The last I heard, it wasn't going smoothly. (I still have hope.)
That they are still trying to come up with a plan and it's unknown how this is going to turn out
Supposedly it's made up of an even number of Republicans and Democrats. I don't really trust it to be honest, but don't know enough to say for sure
They don't seem to know what they are doing
Yes but they seem to be hiding information
Making sure Gretchen Whitmore doesn't get reelected
They had covid that's why they needed me to run errands. I just put the stuff on the porch
I was invited to be in a pool of randomly selected candidates for the commission, each side got to pick 200 people to invite to be in the pool. I was invited based on my political inclination. Each side would then narrow down the pool until each side agreed upon the people they wanted to serve their side. There would be equal amount chosen. It required traveling and holding meetings through out the state, the expenses would be paid and the job itself paid quite well. I declined the offer because of covid.
Election Fraud, without fixing it nothing else matters.
Getting services for the person I care for.
It hasn’t communicated well with the public. There has been lack of transparency. There is distrust in it’s effectiveness and fairness.
The rise in the omicron version of Covid19
improve educational facilities so that Michigan becomes a center of economic growth
they are working on maps but often fighting. Not truly independent
Having them at the house more frequently
Bipartisan, even number of members. will attempt to draw non-partisan districts.
Just know that it is composed of citizens rather than legislators. I think they are a balanced number of democrats, republicans, and then some independents. I think their 'hearings'/discussions are also open to the public
People are being paid to NOT work. That means an economic collapse on multiple levels.
Let business run and stay out of the way.
The redistricting is another hoax to predetermine the outcome of elections and further the in-accuracy of out state.
Apathy-uncertainty about government interference in businesses and our personal freedoms
Remove all Covid restrictions and, to quote our governor, fix the da** roads
I have had to stay away numerous times because myself or others were infected.
It is supposed to stop gerrymandering. Does a bit. But commission is bought off too.
I have seen some news reports that discussed different plans, but nothing concrete
It is meant to remove redistricting from political influence

I worry that I can get Covid-19 and then pass it on to my wife who is at high risk
I have heard from the news they have redrawn some voting areas or districts in our County
Not sure. I think it has to do with elections.
that they regularly and constantly violate the law by holding closed and secret meetings and withold documents from the public and media. That they ignore the attorney general. That they are being sued by literally everyone, republicans, democrats, every single newspaper, the blacks
people not wanting to work and there are jobs open
getting people back to work and that means stopping government assistance
only that they are mostly having private meetings
I’m not really sure there are so many things they need to fix
That people aren't showing up for meetings.
Stopping the spread of Covid with mask and vaccine mandates
Covid and people not getting vaccinations
Read an article in the paper months ago Don't really remember the specifics, but do remember thinking this is just another BS committee we'll spend money on to go nowhere.
I applied and made it passed initial screening for the Commission, but was not ultimately selected. I have been following the various maps/districts that they have released, but have not attended any of the public meetings they have had.
Not much, just that it exists. My general impression is that it's slightly better than the old system, but still not fair.
Opening the state up and remove all restrictions put in place
The commission is in the process of redrawing the maps but may still keep it from making sense or being neutral
It's supposed to be fair and not allow Republicans to steal elections.
the imposition of "covid" rules and mandates
Very little, I dont recall but I did hear of it
have been following it since day one; applied for a seat on commission
Keeping the promises they made during their campaign
Extra layers of hoops to jump through to make sure the care is received. Everything is just more complicated.
It is supposed to be independent, composed of bi-partisan members, with map proposals that citizens can comment on.
Climate change, lgbtq rights, children assistance
preventing Republicans changing access to voting
The commission was voted in to prevent abusive gerrymandering of districts in favor of a political party. I have not read of any redistricting results from the commission yet.
It's hard because I help my elderly mother but I'm afraid I could expose her to covid.
Not able to go out and do activities and get exercise.
I heard the Republicans were trying to change it.
THE LAZY PEOPLE THAT DO NOT WANT TO WORK
That they are going to have non-elected people from both parties and independents drawing them
Difficult to visit those locked in nursing homes
Holding public hearings on redistributing
Pamphlets and brochures with the basic information on why and who the redistricting would be completed by
Show infrastructure improvements locally and throughout the state
Nothing other than it being on the ballot and passing.
That it is Democrat empowered. 1 more Dem at least than GOP. And while one cannot really trust either one, the Dems are clearly worse. They are lying, cheating communist totalitarians. Either make it fair or disband it but they won't all they care about is power. Whitmer and her minions are utterly loathesome.
The district plans are still up in the air
Not for a long time has any news been about it
Not very much but it changes the dynamics of where the lines are for voting and redesigned the maps to where people vote and how things will change for the area you live in.
Fixing the changes they made to the auto no fault laws. It has been a disaster to those that are catastrophically injured.
They aren’t holding meetings open to th public.

Only that people have been upset with the maps they’re drawing.

That some people were complaining that the new redistricting was worse with the redistricting for African-Americans

It is run by non politicians, is supposed to be citizens and they are to draw the lines for voting districts.
Lack of staffing for business and manufacturing.
Job programs to bring residents back to work.
That they have redrawn the districts and are awaiting approval.
Businesses can't find people to work for them
Just that they are working on redistricting
I live two hours away from my Mother and in the beginning of the Pandemic I made short visits, but that has changed now, because we all have got vaccinated and have gotten our booster shots.
Fixing districting for the legislature will help, adjust the term limits to extend them so there is actual experience in the chamber, and elmiminate lobbying's revolving door.
I've been following the commission and their meetings. It still appears that there will be a pro-GOP majority compared to voting results, but it will be less bad than the past two decades.
They have been working on it and had some hearings. Still working on gerrymandering, though
That some of the people who said they were Republican lied about their party affiliation.

Concern that I will get COVID-19 from my elderly MIL since she is living with us and she is not very careful.

I've heard that there have been lawsuits already filed against their redistricting because groups feel it hasn't been done correctly.
They held multiple public sessions and have begun submitting proposals for district maps. The census was delayed which caused hardships for them but the state Supreme Court wouldn't grant an extension

Stopping opening the border for everyone and giving them $400,000 or is it $500,000 now? We're struggling and they never paid any taxes.
Not a lot but from what I do know I don't agree with it at all.
being rural, I think the farmers getting all the crops off, it depends on the weather
Covid makes making and getting health care much more difficult when it comes to appts and care
That people aren't getting fully vaccinated for Covid or not at all.
I just remember seeing something about proposal 2 but didn't read much about.

I've heard that they preliminary maps that aren't as good as people thought they'd be. And I heard there is a lot of disappointment in how the process has progressed.
It has increased the difficulty of being a care giver due to health concerns and distance.
I have seen some preliminary plans posted for citizen feedback.

Simply sign approval for muskegon casino
It's supposed to be fair and not help a political party
Working hard to fix the Republican Scams
That Republicans are already looking for ways to actively undermine the new commission regardless of the will of voters, because cheating is the only way they can win and entrench minority rule. They are cowards.
They are not impartial, their maps draw benefits the GOP, Law Suits
Covid and its variants come to mind but I don't know if its the most important as I am apolitical
Hardly anything. I’ve read about it once a couple years ago.
That ordinary citizens are responsible for drawing districts but with the political climate like it is, I'm not sure it is not biased
Notice of public hearings consistently is published after the hearing date.
Working together for the good of all of Michigan
They are trying to work it out where it is right for All
Supposed redirecting voting zones to better represent

Inflation since we are a rural community
Corruption in our government and partison games especially in our voting laws and enforcement of those laws in

It is gerrymandering to help democrats win elections.
Republicans are attacking it because it's not unfairly favoring them.
The US Federal government has been usupred by evil communists who hate American and want to destroy it and create a global Marxist dictatorship.
Outlawing electronic vote counting machines
they are drawing up much more fair districts
It's in the process of drawing the maps and they have released a few maps. I haven't looked at them recently.
Republicans are PISSED OFF because most of their jerry mandering has been undone,
Politics, fake news, still scaring people.
Removing ALL mandates, getting economy back on track.

lack of family values and basic morality
They are not being transparent and honest with Michigan's citizenry.
That there stands a good chance of getting Michigan out of a gerrymandered state.
They are trying to have private meetings but that's not the original purpose of the committee
Taking their noses out of peoples business
Current administration creating division with Covid
Getting the COVID outbreak under control
They had closed door meetings that were supposed to be open to public review. They need to be replaced with people who will follow the provisions set up in the statute.
I have reviewed the proposed maps and submitted comments.
It’s really hard to deal with restrictions at hospitals when the people who can visit is restricted and who can visit isn’t able to change. I live out of town and I count on local family to be able to do what I can’t. It’s also frustrating because I can’t take my under 16 year old with me - even though he is a teen and I’d like him to spend some time with his grandpa before grandpa dies.
I’ve heard that it’s non-partisan. The civil rights department is upset because they don’t like that some of the majority-minority districts are going to change and they want to prevent that.
dealing all the fall out from Covid, jobs etc
Their declining mobility because they can't get go out of the house unless necessary with copd
Covid disease and disagreement over measures to combat it
I watched one of the streamed pubic input meetings and have looked at the proposed maps.
Working together instead of against each other
Final districts are nearing completion but lawsuits will probably be filed regardless.
Would have people to voice there opinion
Getting back to pre-pandemic normal, no more gov control over our lives
It is supposed to be a commission of people representing Republicans, dems, Independents. It is FAR from "independant" and very partisan for the communist left dems.
That some of the surrounding towns of Detroit will now be pushed into that district. That the commission may be against the MI constitution.
I applied to be part of the commission but was not selected. I know that it is taking much longer than initially planned. I also know that part of that is due to pressure from far right groups.
Almost nothing. I am closer to St Paul, MN, or Chicago, than I am Lansing.
They are responsible for redrawing the district lines
Controling prices on everything in our state.
Not much at all, news media did not cover it much.
Older people don't want to leave out as much to grocery shop
That it's supposed to lessen the affects of gerrymandering
not being able to be with lperson do to hospital restrictions
nothing just heard it was going to be done
Currently the commission has proposed a terrible cut of Wayne County that will significantly end fair legislative representation for Detroiter's, an effort I believe to reduce African American voting power in Michigan
Very little since it was enacted. I tried to submit to be a part of it even. Since then there hasn't been much info
Create and find workers to fill vacant job
Just that it was needed to balance number of citizens in districts.
Learning too much about how self centered some members of American society behave.
They created their maps, which are fair and non-partisan-ish
Heard there was some criticism about the redistricting proposals in Wayne county that would eliminate some majority black voting districts.
the republicans could stop blocking ANY and ALL progress and maybe drop the critical race theory bullshit
that they had an illegal closed-session meeting.
Reducing bureaucracy and opening up opportunity for commerce
I got a flyer in the mail asking me to apply to be on the commission. I declined because I can't take off that kind of time from work, which makes me worried that the only people on this commission are retired or unemployed. I don't understand how someone working full time could support this, and therefore I worry about the diversity of the commission.
Certain areas in Michigan will not get car insurance will have poor schools and not the services that the other redistrict will have
May effect voting to be changed and effect results
I would say not continuing my usual routine
Read the ballot proposals, consumed news stories, interviews with, and columns, about it. Signed the petition and voted for it. Advocated others to sign and vote for it. A significant other attempted to be a citizen on the commission.
Getting rid of mandates, which are not laws.
Partisan hacks dismantling for no good to come in 2022.
Heard it discussed in the news and I know MI Republicans want redistricting done to favor their outcome, but don't know final resolution
Back when it started there was a lot of talk about it. Not much since, especially after the courts started sabotaging efforts to get rid of gerrymandering.
The most important problem facing my community would be healthcare.
The most important issue would be healthcare.
I haven't heard much about the independent citizens redistricting commission. Only thing I heard was that it existed.
Second chances and undo unfair policy and procedures
That the Republicans are drawing line to benefit them on elections
That they have met and created a new proposed map
Redistricting will not be done by politicians but by citizens
The Legislature needs to grow up and stop acting like spoiled little children and get Michigan healthy again.
I've been following the commission since I signed a petition to get it on the ballot and I've attended a public meeting with the commission. My only concern is that Qpuiblicans in Lansing have sworn to undermine it and its findings and they're doing that now.
I have heard about it on local newscasts as well as radio commercials. I have just heard it represents a more authentic way to vote.
That they're still working on getting the final maps.
That they have not been as transparent as they should have been. I don't trust them.
I've been following the Commission closely. After promising transparency, they participated in secret meetings and withheld memos from the public. Their maps have been accused of violating the Civil Rights Act. By every metric, the Commission has been a disappointment.
They are not being fair in drawing the district
Fixing the city's up to make them more valuable
LOWER ALL TAXES AND REDUCE GOVERNMENT SIZE OVERALL
Having to do even more because I don't want them in the public
I don't see a problem within our community.
They are arguing, having difficulty coming to a unanimous decision. They are also being told that their maps are in violation of civil rights and that they must release their secret memos.
Oversized control of the economy and policy by the 1%
Protecting Michigan's independent bipartisan redistricting commission and expanding voter's rights.
Covid has made my experience as a caregiver a big pain in the ass.
Geez, I'm very involved voter. I can't remember everything I know about it. I signed a petition in favor of the initiative, talked to friends and family about supporting it and voted for it on election day. It passed and the goddamn GOP has been trying to derail it ever since. I honestly have a hard time believing it will actually happen.
Funding and expanding public transportation services such as Amtrak. Tackling the crime and drug addiction issues that have taken hold of every city and rural area statewide.
Well she did promise to fix the damn roads if elected. So how about fix the damn roads.
Muskegon county wants to redistrict like 3 or 4 of the smaller townships that doesn't get enough support from the local government and redistrict themselves to form a new county.

Covid; Financial Assistance; Poverty; Animal Welfare
The most important problem facing my community today employees not making enough money to cover their bills.

Unable to travel due to Covid and being forced to get vaccinated
Focus on the economy the cost of everything is going up
Somewhat but it’s mostly me and making sure I wear a mask and not spread it
Shutting down the economy has made it difficult to shop, provide food or other necessary household supplies as well as ever increasing prices & inflation from the poor choice to shut down economy & the govt handing out free money
Very little other than promoting it before election, since it was passed I have heard nothing more about it.....have not heard if citizens were chosen yet or not, how they were chosen, who they are or when & how redistricting will be done......nothing at all. As usual, we are all left in the dark and the process will still be corrupt

Not much lately..I remember it being discussed at election time.
they meet behind closed doors and do not let the people know what htey are doing

It can be beneficial if the right people are doing it
That it is in the process of using census data to appropriately draw district lines for the state of Michigan.
High prices. It's a small community with very little local employment, so everybody has to travel to work. The price of fuel is ridiculous as is the price of heating your home and electricity has gotten out of control. A good budget is it possible for the lower class and seniors in my community
Only information from this survey app prior to today
Trying to keep her safe from getting it.
People not working. Lack of power for people to move on with the take over of the USA by the Democratic Communist Party otherwise the Democrats.
Beyond that they were looking at the possibility, I haven't seen anything in the news.
I’ve experienced many unique challenges because the elderly person I help care for is demented and doesn’t remember COVID or care about personal hygiene or taking safety precautions.
Only that there is some supposedly independent group handling redistricting now.

Difficulty with child care and with future planning.
I've followed the process for drawing districts closely, commented on some of them and suggested my own, and have seen some of the controversy around how they're drawing districts and getting advice, including possible violations of the open meetings act.
I don't really follow it, just they're trying to make it easier for people to vote in their district
Term Limits for all members of congress both federal and state
republicans over ruled the commission will of the people to impose thier own distrusted maps
Making sure that the people in my home were vaccinated and boosted.

They're Gerramanding the Districts to favor Republicans!
The pepole who don't want to get the Vaccine
My community is implementing road diets which means ripping out lanes of traffic. It's a stupid idea and should be ended now. Add more car lanes downtown. Add parking.
Two of the independents lied and are super partisan Democrat leftists. Anthony Eid is the worst. Also, the commission is basically drawing a Democrat gerrymander. They are illegally drawing districts to disfavor Republicans. Republicans have a natural geographic advantage in the state and the districts should reflect that.
get rid of the tax on state pensions as promised by Gov. Whitmer.
I know that the commission is currently being sued. I know that they have also missed a few deadlines
