In addition, testimony, whether oral or written, can inform judicial panel members about the key social and economic circumstances that help define the community as well as any regional matters of significance to the city. The demographics of the city are also important to emphasize, including the age range of the city population, languages spoken, education, and employment. In addition, point out any major employers uz the area and school district boundaries as well as traffic patterns that influence the flow of commerce and access to other locations beyond the city limits. Finally, comments on redistricting can emphasize important local interests and circumstances that either distinguish the city from other locations in the immediate area or are similar to those of other nearby cities.
