Núñez has his own redistricting plan
By Wally N. EdgeA plan by outgoing Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez to change the way legislative districts after the 2010 census isn’t likely to gain much steam, especially with Karen Bass poised to become the new Speaker next week. Núñez wants a bi-partisan commission to draw districts – but his newly-found reformer position comes in response to a ballot initiative pushed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to create a different kind of commission. Former Gov. Gray Davis, Common Cause, the League of Women Voters, and AARP are backing Schwarzenegger’s plan.
