Morning Briefs on Los Angeles Redistricting 2012

The Faces of Los Angeles Redistricting 2012

 City Council President Herb Wesson and staffer/Redistricting Executive Director Andrew Westall antics behind close doors , garnered Los Angeles Times attention today as we near viewing time for the first map of redrawn council district boundaries.

City Redistricting Commission Executive Director Andrew Westall has crafted secret sub-committees that have intensely debated changes in boundaries away from public scrutiny.   

 Councilman Bernard Parks and Councilwoman Jan Perry are fighting back against having coveted areas remove from their respective districts. Parks could lose Baldwin Hills and Perry may represent less of downtown.

CD 14 Councilman Jose Huizar is banking on gaining more downtown acreage. CD 14 constituents should wonder whether gaining additional space downtown will create a mini-district within the larger CD-14 area.

Your thoughts ..............
