Reapportionment Bill Vote Splits Senate Showdown
State Sen. Frank Petersen backed the Teale measure in a solemn session, noting it outshines the federal court option if the bill failed. The 24-13 vote showed Dems 17 to 6 in favor, Republicans 7 to 4 split, with Joe Rattigan opposing. The plan would redraw districts to expand Mendocino and Lake into Sonoma, shifting control toward Southern California urban areas. A constitutional amendment to create a legislature remains not dead, as action on the unicameral proposal is paused for later reconsideration.
