Should your state or community have an
independent redistricting commission? We held a webinar on July 11, 2012 to
talk about the overwhelming success of California's
2011 redistricting process.
Connie
Galambos Malloy and Stanley Forbes, two members of California’s
new Citizens Redistricting Commission, joined League members who
worked to establish this revolutionary reform to discuss how the independent,
transparent and fair redistricting process worked in California.
Dear Members of the Citizens Redistricting Commission:
As you begin to draw the first draft maps, the League of Women Voters of California would like to offer some important considerations about the mapping criteria in the Voters FIRST Act. As you know, the criteria for drawing the maps are listed in a specific order, and you are directed by the Act to follow them in that order of priority. This is because in the complex task of drawing district lines, following one criterion may make it more difficult to fully adhere to another, lower one.
Dear Chair Hoppin and Members of the Board:
The League of Women Voters of California supports a statewide requirement that wastewater agencies use volumetric billing for residential customers.
