I attended and testified at the Supervisor’s redistricting meeting Tuesday. It was an eye opening and frankly terrifying experience … to see how bizarrely out of touch the Republicans are, on the so-called nonpartisan board. Arguments were made that city residents do not need representation on the county board as they have their respective city councils. I guess I am not a Butte County resident in their eyes, as I live in Chico. Sorry … they are wrong on that, as well as the need to follow the law in creating this map. The professional consultant the county hired, described the Republican created map as “The fruit of a poisonous tree …” that was obviously a political gerrymander.
Making Butte County Great Again by setting the wayback machine to 2010, the three males on the Board of Supervisors are seeking an illegal old school gerrymander of the board’s new district lines. Supervisor Teeter actually stated his desire for their illegal map, to go to court. “I hope it does go to court.”
Incompetence is expensive.
Just what the county needs … an expensive lawsuit, which the county will surely lose, to feed the ego and political aspirations of these three Republicans.
The map drawn by the consultant and based on the Fair Maps Act divided Chico between three districts, rather than four, and respected interest groups and tribes. Now, having thrown out this perfectly good map, along with their own Republican Map, we are back to the drawing board.
May better angels in our supervisors prevail.
