Take a look at the Iowa model, which I believe has been around longer than any other.

Brian – at this point, it’s a hard call. But we’ve got two sessions of the GA to get it done before the next election. I’d like to think that our legislators will do the right thing. But if they don’t, it behooves all of us to hold them accountable for not doing so.

Care to wager on the outcome, Vivian? I’ll take “keeping that power.”

I’m not sure I find that any better than partisan gerrymandering. I think it’s nonpartisan or bust, for me.

(I like the idea of a legislative agenda series. I look forward to the rest.)
