The New York Times published an editorial on +July 7, 2014, criticizing the proposed amendment (click here for editorial).
The State League submitted a response to the New York Times’ editorial in which the Times suggests that the constitutional amendment to reform redistricting “would only make matters worse.”
We believe the editorial is wrong on the basic facts of what it predicts the amendment would do. Approval of a redistricting plan will need votes of members of parties not in power, either by a super-majority vote in the commission or in the legislature itself.
