La inclusión a última hora de un plan de reforma de las elecciones judiciales no ha mermado las posibilidades de que el Senado apruebe un proyecto de ley que también propone una enmienda constitucional para reformar la forma en que se elaboran los mapas legislativos y congresuales en Pensilvania.

Op-ed by State Senator Lisa Boscola
Since my first experience with map drawing back in 2001, it was apparent that partisanship plays too large a role in our redistricting effort. The recent decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court discarding the congressional maps merely serves to reaffirm this position.
The General Assembly has long had the tools to fix the issue once and for all by taking the politics out of map drawing. It is why I am a proud prime sponsor of SB 22. This legislation provides for the creation of an independent commission to draw our lines every 10 years. This has never been a partisan issue for me, but a practical one.
