Gene Martinez wrote, "I attended part of the Redistricting
Commission meeting last night. I agree completely that the NAACP plan is
superior to the DFL 'incumbent protection plan'. Does the DFL Central
Committee plan on weighing in on this issue? Does the party consider the
opinions of the NAACP important in determining what plan will best serve
people of color? I hope there is a vigorous effort to get the DFL majority
on the Commission to adopt the NAACP plan. It is time to raise some hell!"
I am aware of no current plans for the City DFL Central Committee's
consideration of redistricting, and the Party has not taken a view in favor
of or against any proposed plan. What has been labeled the "DFL" plan is not
the product of the Party organization, but rather of DFLers who serve as
commissioners, only one of whom was nominated through the Party
organization. Those commissioners, including the one commissioner whom the
City Party nominated, are all free to act according to their conscience and
do not answer to the Party organization.
