SF redistricting panel sets next meeting
The panel redrawing the local electoral map for the city's 11 supervisorial districts will resume its work Thursday, a week after it missed its deadline to finalize the political boundaries.
It will continue its task under a cloud of legal questions.The San Francisco Redistricting Task Force has scheduled its next meeting for noon, April 21, in Room 406 at City Hall.
The proceedings will also be screened online and focus on what has been dubbed Map 7, which can be viewed here. The task force had voted 5-4 last Wednesday to reject the map that it had been set to adopt and go back to the drawing board.
Numerous community groups and residents, including LGBTQ advocates, had opposed the map for how it carved up various neighborhoods, including the Tenderloin, South of Market, and Castro LGBTQ districts.Under the city's charter, the task force was mandated to have adopted a new map by 11:59 P.M.
