Following the release of a report on redistricting by supporters of Numéro 1, Common Cause New York discussed its opposition to a proposal that would enshrine in the New York State Constitution a redistricting commission that is largely controlled by the legislature. Referring to a court victory requiring removal of the word “independent” from the official ballot description of the proposed commission, Executive Director Susan Lerner stated the following in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle et le Albany Times Union: “Spin it any way you like, but after the judge’s ruling, it’s impossible to claim that Proposition 1 would ‘unrig’ the system. New Yorkers understand that this proposed commission would actually make a bad situation worse.”
