L.A. redistricting panel approves draft map but avoids decision on Raman and Krekorian
LA TimesA citizens commission charged with redrawing L.A.’s City Council district boundaries has voted for a draft map that would dramatically redesign districts represented by L.A. City Councilman Paul Krekorian, left, and Councilwoman Nithya Raman. The citizens commission charged with redrawing the Los Angeles City Council’s district boundaries signed off on a draft map late Thursday while also declining to specify exactly which parts of the city two councilmembers — Paul Krekorian and Nithya Raman — should represent. The commission’s draft map would dramatically redesign districts represented by Krekorian, who is based in the San Fernando Valley, and Raman, a newcomer to City Hall who represents much of the Hollywood Hills. “I’m confident that the council will reject this absurd set of proposed maps and ensure that all of the people of Los Angeles have a fair opportunity to elect council members of their own choosing.” The draft map establishes a Hollywood Hills district that stretches from the city’s border with Beverly Hills north to the horse country of Shadow Hills, located in the San Fernando Valley.
