ICHARDS urges change to California Senate apportionment arguing Los Angeles Alameda and San Francisco counties with over half the state population hold only three Senators. He notes the system favors small-population counties and could require a constitutional amendment to alter. If LA County had two or three Senators, it would affect influence and mail volume for Senator Richards.
