Monroe County Executive Adam Bello has vetoed the county GOP's redistricting plan.
Instead, the Democrat is introducing a bill that would create an independent commission to draw the lines.
The 8-member body would be made up of community members, as well as Commissioners of the Board of Elections.
“The Republican Majority’s redistricting process last year was deeply flawed. It lacked transparency, and meaningful public input and did not provide adequate information about the proposed districts to legislators or the public,” said Bello. “We must start over with an improved process. Creating an independent redistricting commission will ensure that voters have confidence that the redistricting process is fair and impartial.”
