Heard a KSL editorial tonight, ' bout redistricting, noting that while the citizens' groups are calling for keeping a U.S. House district just for the Salt Lake Valley, the legislature itself seems to be going towards slicing the valley up so a little urban sticks with all the rural.
And, the editorial suggested party politics might be behind the move, as the redistricting plan would keep the Democrats from having an area where they are likely to win.
Of course this is wrong to do. The legislators promised to be fair. Can we trust them? This is not about -- or should not be about -- their own political desires. It should be about drawing fair lines.
