Update on HR 2420 (Redistricting)

Apparently there is still some hope that HR 2420 will be voted out of committee and onto the PA House floor.

From the inbox:

On the face of it, passage shouldn’t be a problem. House Bill 2420, which sets up a rational non-partisan redistricting process, backed by Common Cause and the League of Women Voters, has the support of 93 cosponsors of both parties. It is the kind of issue that politicians prefer to avoid conspicuously being on the "wrong" side of. But the bill is bottled up in the State Government Committee by Chairwoman Babette Josephs, who actually is one of the co-sponsors.


So if you have strong feelings on this please call your state rep, especially if he or she serves on this committee.
