Commission reports plan for Bristol two districts
The Governor appoints a commission to draft an act creating a Bristol House of Representatives. The group finished its work and will present the report to Governor Pothier next Monday. It proposes splitting Bristol into two representative districts and two representatives plus one senator in the General Assembly, replacing the current one-for-one setup. A map showing the division is expected to be published next Tuesday.

It cites tourism spending abroad, interest payments on securities held overseas, remittances from foreign-born residents, and foreign transportation payments as major outflows. It questions the fairness of wealth distribution and notes a harsh critique of colonial possessions.
