Legislative Leaders on Redistricting
By John Gregory – Illinois Radio Network
Three of Illinois’ legislative leaders are offering different degrees of support for redistricting reform. Senate President John Cullerton (D-Chicago) says he has felt the effects of re-drawn legislative maps, particularly after the 1990 census. “My house was actually 500 feet away from the district I had represented for 12 years, so we had an opportunity to move,” Cullerton said.
But Cullerton feels the last redistricting process, this time under control of Democrats, was fairer.
