Will County Board Chairman Jim Moustis issued this statement on the proposed congressional map.

"The proposed congressional map fails to keep Will County together with communities of interest and, more than likely, will result in unfair representation for our residents.  Essentially, Chicago politicians will now serve areas in stark contrast to where they live and call home.  No surprise this map was drawn by a partisan committee, behind closed doors, and without consideration for the 677,560 citizens living in this county.  Those drawing this map should start over and take a cue from the way Will County has gone about the reapportionment process- openly, transparently and by a bipartisan committee.”
