Reported in late July by Oregon Live/The Oregonian.
Although I'm not familiar with the details of the proposed measure, in a broad stroke, it would create a panel of retired state judges to oversee the state political districting process. Under current state law, the process is up to the Legislature (who, of course, are the ones who benefit from owning the process). The process has become increasingly political (and, as with most things "political" recently) correspondingly less cordial.
In general, passage of such a law, placing oversight in a relatively neutral third-party's hands, would be a good thing. Oh well... Next time, count your signatures better, guys!
