Two rumors have been circulating lately about the process of drawing new lines for California districts for Congress, Senate and Assembly.
First, one consultant on the short list of possible vendors to help the citizen’s commission draw the new lines is directly affiliated with the guy that drew the lines last time Jerry Brown was governor. This group claims to be non-partisan but they are just a front for Democrats.
Second, the new lines for Sacramento County will include two self contained congressional seats. By self-contained I mean that the districts will likely be wholly within the county. The western district will run from Natomas thru Sacramento to Elk Grove. This will be the new safe seat for Doris Matsui and the other district would be the more competitive home of Dan Lungren.
Let’s see if these two rumors come to pass.
