Weintraub on Prop 77: "Most Important Initiative"
Dan Weintraub has a good rundown of the situation regarding the redistricting reform initiative and possible legal actions to keep it off the ballots. Point to take away:
If they let the initiative stand, despite the mistakes, the courts will set a
precedent that could lead to greater abuses down the road. If they strike the
measure from the ballot, they will be thwarting the desires of nearly 1 million
Californians.
Weintraub calls Prop 77 the governor's "most important initiative." For more on the importance, see here. For how the Supreme Courth appointment (hey, everything's about the Supreme Court these days, right?) could affect redistricting, see here.
Mr. Weintraub will be speaking at the Bear Flag Leagues Summer Conference this Sunday. If you are a good citizen you should go (I'll be there).
