LA City Council President Paul Krekorian says a redistricting commission should be up to Angelenos, not legislators.
Los Angeles City Council President Paul Krekorian believes that any redistricting commission for the city should be decided by Angelenos, not by state lawmakers who may not even live in the area.
“It would be a poor way to make policy” if the state Legislature did not take that into account, Krekorian said moments before committee members voted 6-0 to advance his resolution opposing Senate Bill 52, which was sponsored by Sen. Maria Elena Durazo, who represents District 26 in the state Senate.
Durazo hit back, stating, “It’s not surprising that current city councilmembers would oppose my work to take self-interest out of the redistricting process. They chose to ignore City Attorney Mike Feuer’s earlier recommendations. The Los Angeles City Council remains the largest entity in California without independent redistricting.”
