Good compromise and transition plan for the House Democrats, giving Pelosi the votes she'll need to be Speaker now, with a commitment to transition to new House leadership by 2022 as well as support for a broader commitment to giving different members leadership opportunities every three terms.

"Democratic lawmakers have largely watched from the sidelines as their proposal to revise the way the state redraws its legislative districts every 10 years has faced an onslaught of criticism from good-government groups, editorial boards and even a high-ranking official from former President Barack Obama’s administration.
But yesterday they fought back with a full-throated defense of the significant redistricting changes they want to write into the state constitution, including language that some say will open the door to gerrymandering, or the idea that legislative districts could be drawn up in a way that intentionally puts partisan interests over fair representation."
https://www.njspotlight.com/stories/...tricting-plan/
“Gerrymandering,” “voter suppression” and “undemocratic” were the most common phrases used by opponents in testifying against Democrats’ controversial legislation to revamp the way New Jersey redraws legislative district boundaries during simultaneous public hearings in Trenton on Thursday.
Not one of roughly 100 activists, academics, and citizens relatively new to political engagement who spoke or signed in to express an opinion in the Assembly and Senate hearings favored the proposal embodied in three identical measures — SCR-43, SCR-152, and ACR-205. That’s especially noteworthy because nearly all the grassroots activists lean Democratic."Last edited by Judge Jude; 12-14-2018, 09:54 AM.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

Thought there may some conversation in the left camp regarding the in-fighting between Tom Perez and the state parties:
"The DNC wants to gather all the data points on voters into a new, massive for-profit database but needs to convince state parties on the idea. The state parties have been wary, accusing the DNC of conducting a power grab that could financially benefit a few elite party figures."
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/...arties-1066665It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.
