Yeah Greg, The 4.9% is not a figure related to Puna's population growth. Since all nine districts are to be equally populated and doing to that an exact head count is impossible. The nine districts can only deviate, under Brenda's bill by no more than 4.9%.
I think that if one district comes in 4.9% under and another is 4.9% over the average (total population divided by nine districts) then the maximum departure would not exceed 10% overall. Currently it is set up where there might be a 20% differential.
Anyone want to be on the commission? Does everyone want commissioners that know what the word "gerrymandering" means?

Assume the best and ask questions.
