Redistricting Debate Opens With Ward Lines Question
The Judiciary Committee held the first hearing on whether senate districts should follow current ward lines or those at the last census. Councilman Whitmore argued for ward-based reapportionment tied to decades of statutes, while opponents urged wards be fixed by census and warned of sweeping citywide charter implications. The clash revisits 1865 and 1866 acts and ongoing disputes over Boston district boundaries.
