Reapportionment commission looks West

Cowboys, ski bums, and Colorado Ute tribes were at center stage in a showdown Monday as the state’s Reapportionment Commission voted on preliminary legislative districts for the western portion of the state. While Democrats called for more competitive districts, Republicans prevailed with a map that ultimately retained their Western Slope voter registration dominance but will likely see two Republican representatives living in the same district and Grand County attached to the Front Range.

The 6-5 vote was along party lines, with the commission’s unaffiliated chair, Mario Carrera, of Parker, defying some predictions by voting with Republicans for a map developed by former state Rep. Steve Tool, Republican from Windsor.

Tool’s adopted plan removes both Jackson and Grand Counties from HD 57, and instead proposes to potentially combine the two counties and the rural portion of Larimer County into one House district. The change could result in both state Reps. Randy Baumgardner, R-Hot Sulphur Springs and B.J. Nikkel, R-Loveland, sharing a single district.

Tool explained that his goal was to create a "footprint" where he could fulfill a Colorado Supreme Court decision, written by Justice Gregory Hobbs, that he said mandated that counties retain whole districts allotted to them.

Though the commission has not yet dealt with the area, Tool sees Weld County retaining three districts. However, because the county is allotted 3.27 House districts the excess would be pushed, as HD 49, towards the west. There it could be combined with a portion of Larimer County, which has 3.87 House districts, and both Grand County and Jackson Counties that because of their sparse population receive only a combined total of .21 House districts.

“I've made some Republicans mad at me, I suppose,” Tool said of his plan.

Morgan Carroll, D-Aurora, however, said Tool was trying to carve out the Western Slope to leave the maximum number of districts in Weld and Larimer Counties. The move she said could mean another Republican seat.

In addition to the removal of Grand County from the Western Slope, the new map would expand HD 58 represented by Rep. Don Coram, R-Montrose, to encompass much of HD 61, currently represented by Rep. Roger Wilson, D-Glenwood Springs. Hinsdale County would be absorbed under the new map and Gunnison County would be split, with only the northwest region of the county remaining in its former district. In turn, HD 61 would expand to divide Delta County by taking over the portion once represented by HD 58 and recede from its stake in Rio Blanco and most of Garfield counties. Finally, HD 59 would expand to represent the southern half of Montezuma County.
