“Independent reform group recommends expanding L.A. City Council to 25 members”

L.A. Times: “The report recommends that the city establish two independent redistricting commissions, each with 17 residents, to draw district lines for the city of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles Unified School District, respectively.” The report, in the words of the story, is the work of “an academic supergroup of sorts” led by “former USC political science and international relations department chair Ange-Marie Hancock, … who now leads Ohio State University’s Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity,[and] is one of the project’s two co-chairs, along with UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs professor Gary Segura.”
