Redistricting commissioners pushed state executives and legislative leaders in a second letter Thursday, and some weighed taking legal action, as the state continues to withhold $1 million in legislated funding for the 10-member group to start work redrawing legislative districts.
Another week passed without state officials funding or responding to queries from the Independent Redistricting Commission, which continues to be stalled redesignating elective district maps following ongoing delays in state funding.
The state appropriated a combined $1 million for the commissionâs spending in the Department of Stateâs portion of Aid to Localities budget, with $250,000 appropriated in the 2019-2020 budget and $750,000 this year into 2021.
