In its latest head-scratching move, the panel in the early morning hours of April 5 rejected the map favored by the public that it had nearly unanimously voted for Saturday.Instead, by a 6-3 vote, it decided to go with a different map that once again splits off the city's transgender cultural district in the Tenderloin from District 6 and places gay District 8 Supervisor Rafael Mandelman's residence into District 9.
