Redistricting panel drops San Francisco from Marin legislative districts
A plan to lump Marin County in a legislative district that includes San Francisco has been dumped by a citizens committee redrawing political boundaries.
Vince Barabba, a member of the California's Citizens Redistricting Commission, a 14-member, nonpartisan panel established by voters to redraw legislative districts, told the Independent Journal the panel tossed out a proposal that included a slice of north San Francisco in a district with Marin.
"That's no longer a visualization," he said, referring to maps of various proposals to redraw Assembly, Senate and congressional boundaries.
Still in the mix, he added, are plans to keep Marin in congressional and assembly districts that include a chunk of Southern Sonoma County as they now do, and congressional and senate districts that extend up the coast to the Oregon border -- but do not include any part of San Francisco, as the Senate seat now does.
A final map should be ready by July 28, he added.
His commentary came Tuesday as county supervisors renewed support of Marin districts that include Sonoma County -- but not San Francisco. The board voted 3-0 to send a letter to the commission saying the county "has more in common with Sonoma County than it ever will have with San Francisco" or Napa counties. Supervisors Hal Brown and Susan Adams were absent.
Sending that message to the panel hit a roadblock last month, before Kate Sears was seated and when Adams
was present.
"We are not an urban county," Supervisor Steve Kinsey said then. "We have more in character with Sonoma than San Francisco." Adams, a congressional candidate, wasn't as certain. "We also relate to San Francisco and our East Bay counties," she said.
At the time, Adams said California voters set up the commission to keep politicians out of the redistricting process, and as a result, county supervisors should take a back seat. She later appeared before the commission to note Marin has much in common with Sonoma.
