Mr. Wattson will discuss redistricting models similar to the Citizen
Redistricting Committee (CRC) created by SB304 in other states. He will
also advise on what we can do to prepare even before the CRC starts. Mr.
Wattson will take questions as they arise.

as Senate Counsel to the Minnesota Senate from 1971 to 2011 and as General
Counsel to Governor Mark Dayton from January to June 2011. He assisted with
drawing, attacking, and defending redistricting plans throughout that time.
