Gwinnett Board of Commissioners united against GOP Senate 5EX and 6EX redistricting bills

Lawrenceville, Nov 12, 2021 – The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued a joint statement against proposed redistricting legislation earlier this week by state Sen. Clint Dixon during a special session of the Georgia General Assembly.

SB6EX would double the size of the elected board from the current five-member format to 10 members. The proposal also would weaken the authority of the board chairperson to an occasional tie-breaker.

“The current board members have not received any indication from Gwinnett County residents wanting to see drastic changes made to a governing body that has seen so much success, both recently and in the past. SB6EX bypassed the normal local legislation process and is questionable to be considered “emergency” local legislation,” said Nicole Love Hendrickson, Chair of Gwinnett Board of Commissioners at the Senate hearing.

The revitalization of Gwinnett Place Mall, opening and operating two COVID-19 vaccination clinics for residents, increasing patrols at Asian-owned businesses, establishing the first-ever Police Citizens Advisory Board – even being recognized by the White House as a top performer for its use of federal stimulus funds, are just a few highlights of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners’ recent stated accomplishments.

The commissioners also stressed that the new legislation would cost taxpayers more — to fund the salaries, staff and expenses of five additional politicians.

The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners’ asks are simple: deny the proposed legislation altogether and give the board a chance to do what taxpayers voted them in office to do – get the job done – and draw their own district lines in a fair process.
