Racist remarks in leaked audio could lead to redistricting changes on L.A. political maps
The redistricting process rarely gets much attention in Los Angeles.
"We need to change how we do redistricting. I'm supportive and working with council members to make sure that gets done," says Mayor Eric Garcetti. "Some commissioners were replaced, because maybe they weren't doing what was needed to be done for their appointee.""That was troubling in many ways, and then to see that once the maps were given to the city Council that there was another committee created, and they just did what they wanted to do anyway, despite all of our maps being drawn in public," says Anderson.
Hyepin Im from Faith And Community Empowerment is a community activist. She says "The fact that they were carving up Koreatown really using it almost as a lapdog or a commodity to cut and give to whoever was their agenda was really repulsive, disappointing."
