First term Democratic members of the state assembly introduced a bill that would move the responsibility for redistricting from the assembly to an independent commission. Thursday’s proposal would require the maps to be drawn without giving consideration to which party would benefit or where incumbents live. The plan is based on Iowa’s redistricting law, which [...] Time to Wake Up, America! In The Matrix, Neo (Keanu Reeves) discovers that the world he thought he was living in was merely an illusion, a computer-generated program designed to keep him docile and to be, in effect, a D-Cell battery.
