Oswego, NY – For years political reformers in New York have been calling for a non-partisan alternative to the current system of legislative redistricting. With a new census, and a heightened level of frustration with Albany, now seems the time for change. The League of Women Voters has joined with other reform organizations to press for a different system. In this conversation, Barbara Bartoletti, the League's Legislative Director, makes the case for change and responds to the challenges that any alternative system must face. She also discusses the politics surrounding this issue as well as the other reforms she sees as necessary to reform Albany.
