All the world’s a stage, and redistricting in New York is the main act
Sen. Martin Dilan was fidgeting throughout a recent meeting of the legislative task force on redistricting.
It was one of the last of the group’s dozens of public hearings before drafting new lines for election districts. Dilan, representing the Senate Democratic Conference on the task force, was upset about a memo from a Senate Republican lawyer that advocated for a 63rd Senate seat. The memo had been placed on the LATFOR website late on a Friday, with no Democratic input.
Dilan was not happy.
