 Marylanders will be able to express their views on legislative and congressional redistricting at a dozen public hearings starting next week.
 
 The Governor's Redistricting Advisory Committee will hold 12 public sessions around the state beginning Wednesday in Salisbury.
 
 Gov. Parris N. Glendening appointed the panel, headed by Secretary of State John T. Willis, to hear public testimony and present him with
 recommendations on how to carve Maryland into eight congressional and 47 legislative districts.
 
 Other members of the committee are Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, House Speaker Casper R. Taylor Jr., Montgomery County Councilman Isiah Leggett and Worcester County Commissioner Louise L. Gulyas.
 
 The committee's role is advisory. The governor will prepare the redistricting plans and present them to the General Assembly in its session beginning in January.
