No re-districting in 168

I am writing to express my strong desire that the 168th district in Delaware County remain in tact. The proposed re-districting would cut my township of Middletown in half. There is no benefit to the citizens of Middletown, or to their award-winning school district, to having our small, tight-knit community cleaved and joined with other towns several zip codes away. Why not follow the guidance required for state legislative districts to "respect county, city, incorporated town, borough, township and ward boundaries" and leave Middletown township alone?
