Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:

DISCUSSION:
Humboldt County is closely tied to Trinity, Del Norte and Mendocino Counties and together form a community of interest that should be preserved through redistricting. Our communities share similar cultural and economic ties that bind us together and face similar challenges moving forward
Also, it is important to remember that while Humboldt County has close connections to neighboring inland Northern California counties such as Shasta, Siskiyou and Tehama, Humboldt County is different from these counties and these differences should be recognized in future restricting maps.
