Bloomberg joins Arnold on Prop. 11

New York City Mayor Michael Bllomberg joined Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday in backing Propositoin 11 on the Nov. 4 ballot. The measure would change how legislative districts are drawn,.
"Right now big problems get debated and debated at the Capitol, but they rarely get solved,' Schwarzenegger said. "We saw the dysfunction on the budget that was three months late.
Bloomberg said he was backing the measure to give more power to voters.
"If we want legislators to spend more time reaching across the aisle and solving problems, we have to stop allowing them to draw districts that promote ideological extremes," Bloomberg said.
"Proposition 11 will take the power of redistricting away from legislators and give it to a neutral and nonpartisan group of qualified citizens."
