State panel proposes adding Charlotte to county Senate district

ADDISON COUNTY — Addison County’s senatorial district would swap Brandon for Charlotte in a proposed redistricting plan recently endorsed by the Vermont Apportionment Board (VAB), which had until July 1 to submit final proposals for legislative review.

The Senate reapportionment map — which also transforms Chittenden County from one six-seat district to three two-seat districts — is purely a recommendation, as is the House proposal, and could be tossed out by the Legislature in favor of another plan. But lawmakers at this point seem to be taking more of a shine to the VAB’s Senate recommendations than the panel’s House revision, which calls for 150 single-seat districts and several divided communities.

“It (the Senate plan) was the least onerous of the proposals that I saw,” said former state Sen. Gerry Gossens, D-Salisbury, who served on the VAB.

“I was sorry to have Brandon go, as our senators had become used to dealing with Brandon and Brandon residents had become used to dealing with our senators,” Gossens added.

The seven-member VAB was charged late last year with redrawing House and Senate district lines to reflect the new decennial census numbers in a manner that is consistent with the constitutional standard of “one person, one vote.” Based on federal census numbers, each Vermont Senate district should have roughly 21,000 citizens per senator.

Gossens noted the VAB’s biggest challenges in tackling the Senate map were reconciling a population that had shifted to the northwest part of the state; and responding to increasing citizen requests to fracture a Chittenden County district that has six senators.

“There has been a drumfire against a six-member district for a long time,” Gossens said. “We have heard a lot of requests to break up the six-seat district. It is the one thing we have heard from citizens with any consistency.
