"The task will now be handled by an eight-member commission chosen much like a jury"Chosen much like a liberal jury? I seen nothing here that hints at real changes, this just takes effor away from the politicians and palms it off on a group of 8 partisans, so that the politicals will have more time for graft and fraud and power acquisition.
A plan has to be agreed to by 8 of the 14 commissioners. There will be public hearings into the plan and if the commission cannot agree on a map, then a Supreme Court special master will do it. I'm betting that 14 citizens not connected to the political class will do a better and fairer job than the crowd now running Sacramento. We've told we must leave things up to the professionals and look where that has gotten California. Its time for a change. Trust the people!
