Three GOP Senators Walk Out Over Chicano Remap Plan
In Sacramento a tumultuous Senate hearing saw three Republican senators walk out as Herman Sillas denounced the bipartisan redistricting plan as racist and fueled by fear. Senator Harmer and Zenovich defended the plan as the most equitable, while Dymally protested a proposed East Los Angeles inclusion. Short, facing retirement, condemned the process as gerrymandering, and the committee staff was asked to adjust lines.
