Former Mayor Ed Koch is counting on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to keep his pledge to veto any redistricting plan that doesn't include an independent commission. With independent redistricting going nowhere in the Capitol, Koch expects a veto will throw the issue to federal court, where a judge will draw the kind of rational lines advocates have long sought.
"I have the pledge of the governor - and I spoke with him recently - that he will veto it," Koch said. "He considers this one of his priorities."
With the results of the redistricting in CA from an Independent Commission, the pols are up in arms, I wonder what the Governor will do.
