In his State of the State speech yesterday Gov. Schwarzenegger really stirred up the legislators by proposing the establishment of an independent panel to control the redistricting process. The legislators like gerrymandering as it increases their chances of remaining legislators. Whether it's good for the people of the state is another matter.
If California does change its method resditricting, how long will it take more states to follow? Back when I was a young man and California was in its prime, there were a number of issues that first became law there, Proposition 2 1/2 being one of the more famous.
