the following resolution:
DF IT RESOLVED, that the Council of the Villaze of Monticello request that
the whole 'Oiri�ht Col.znty area be considered as a unit in any redistricting
of the State Legislature. '4rip*ht, County is an area which has the same type
of problems throughout the county and we feel that having one Senator and
House members renresentin7 all of '{:Tright Ccmnty is imperative to good
government for the people of fright County. We feel that 'Alright County is
a fast growing area due to its location adjacent to the Metropolitan area.
114ith the present population of Wright County, there should be no nroblem
in taking into consideration of all of Wright County in one Senatorial Dis-
trict with the additional population needed for a Senatorial District coming
from the rural area of Hennepin County. This would also make the logical House
District from Wright County and rural Hennepin. 14e, as the Council of the
Village of Monticello, reouest your consideration in this important matter
during your deliberations of the redistricting of the State Legisl ature.
