From Gotham Gazette:On Nov. 2, voters in California and Florida approved measures on the ballot to take the politics out of drawing legislative district lines.
In New York, the voters do not have the power to go to the ballot to change the redistricting process. That leaves it up to Gov.-elect Andrew Cuomo and the State Legislature to decide whether to keep redistricting in the hands of legislators or enact reforms to create a more independent process. With the state receiving census data from the federal government by April 1, 2011, and new districts needing to be drawn before the 2012 legislative elections, the clock is ticking on this important issue.
Cuomo and a majority of members of the legislature have expressed their support for change. But whether that will become a reality in time for the upcoming redistricting remains to be seen, along with how the governor, legislators and advocates will draw independent lines.

Cuomo II comes from a family of super liberals who will pull anything to stay in power just like the Mayor.
All thanks to the sheeple called NY voters
No politics, laws or ideas taken from California can be good, that state may as well be Canada or Amsterdam.
I lived in California, been to Amsterdam and been jailed in Canada for insulting a border officer.
All 3 suck wind.
He's also the one that helped kill the banks during his tenure at HUD. My impression is that he has an IQ below room temperature.
I used to play in a band in the Hamptons (summer) this guy was at all the party's schmoozing it up with the worst of the worst.
The Dolan's, NBC and GE executives, Hollywood jack asses, newspaper people the list goes on.
I could no longer do that work as an entertainer. Looking and being around all those phoney people and what went on made me sick. His kind use each other like condoms.
IMHO Coumo II is no different then the company he keeps the feather doesn't fall far from the flock.
I think his alleged relationship with Sandra Dee was concocted by his people to get conservative votes.
No, no I don't.
Joe --
Wrong Sandra. Sandra Dee was married to Bobby Darin. You're thinking about Sandra Lee.
Is the rest of your report that accurate?
"Do you trust this man to do the right thing?"
N O ! ! !
He's a crook like the rest of them. They are all in bed together. People forget that this guy worked for HUD and brought the whole mortgage situation to its knees. I wouldn't trust him. He's a liberal through and through and will do anything to stay in power. If he had to work in private industry, he wouldn't last long.

Just sayin'...
Sandra, Sandee, Sara Lee Dee WHATEVER !!
The blond broad who's always in the kitchen on magazine covers in the subway is who I'm talking about.
Its likely not her real name anyway,
-- Having worked at NBC-Universal and those MF**rs at Disney Global I no longer watch TV except for Saturday morning re-runs of Heckle N Jeckel and the 3-Stooges.
The only thing hooked up to my TV is a blue ray player and a rooftop antenna to get the hog report and 50's monster movies.

Joe --
English translation, please????
"Do you trust this man to do the right thing?"
Absolutely Not
Translation:
It amazes me how people now the names of all these TV people Sandra Lee, Aniston, American Idols whatever.
Yet ...most are to lazy to vote or know who they voted for, and what the scumbags elects are doing to their own community.
People been telling me for years to run for office, I think I just might look into it
Joe said..."Yet ...most are to lazy to vote or know who they voted for, and what the scumbags elects are doing to their own community."
....And you back con-servatives.
Went on to say:"People been telling me for years to run for office, I think I just might look into it"
Please do, out in that bastion of democracy, SOuthhold.
What party?, oh of couse "Tea party" well, they are in remission for now. Yep went back to their bingo and Coors when David Koch's money dried up.
"Do you trust this man to do the right thing?"
Ya mean resign?
Joe-
Just because I know the names of celebrities doesn't mean that I don't read the front sections of the newspapers and watch every news broadcast that I can.
I know who to vote for and who NOT to vote for - especially not for people who sound like they're typing their posts while sitting on a barstool.
-Joe. I'll volunteer for your run for office. Anyone that has CUSTOM router bits made gets my vote! Old world workmanship. That's what we need.
""read the front sections of the newspapers and watch every news broadcast""
LOLOLOLOL Baaaa Baaa Baaa (Sheep)!!
Print, Radio or TV every major media market in NYC is owned by some big $$ global conglomerate with at least 1 friend of the mayor someplace in the chain of command.
Then add the AP embargo's, demographic targeting for advertisers and special interest.
All thanks to "FCC De-regulation" (AKA Clintons Telecommunications Act of 95) His payback part of the deal to company's like Disney, VIACOM, Warner and Clear Channel for getting him elected. The very same folks Cuomo II Schmoozes out in the Hamptons
If you want unedited uncensored news your dreaming unless you buy a unblocked radio scanner and listen to what the people actually on scene are saying !!
News reporter are assigned who write **STORYS** that hand picked editors control.
I worked in a major NY TV studio an currently co-own a private FM station and its call sign (license) in Suffolk County.
Don't forget Fox News, Joe. How many outlets does Rupert Murdoch own?
Beyond that, I read everything that I can get my hands on and watch everything that I can see. Then I make up my own mind. The alternative is to narrow my choices and to sound like someone who doesn't know what he's talking about.
New Sfacime, Old sfacime, same Old Scheme!
"People been telling me for years to run for office, I think I just might look into it"
Then learn the difference between "now" and "know."
