Common Cause/NY on Onondaga Redistricting: "This is a Power Grab"

NEW YORK, NY (10/22/2021) (readMedia)-- Today, ahead of Onondaga County's first public hearing on redistricting during a rushed process, Susan Lerner Executive Director of Common Cause/NY, put out the following statement:

"Onondaga legislators are trying to jam through a year-long redistricting process in a matter of weeks because they've decided that a democratic process doesn't serve their partisan interests. This is a power grab that turns Onondaga residents into political pawns and it's absolutely abhorrent."
