County redistricting plan opposed

More than 800 people jammed into the Board of Supervisors meeting Tuesday to testify about two controversial proposals to create a new Latino-majority supervisorial district. Christina Villacorte in the Daily News.

The majority of speakers opposed the plans, instead favoring a county committee's recommendation to only make minor adjustments to the current boundaries.

Stuart Waldman, president of the Valley Industry and Commerce Association, noted the redistricting proposals submitted by Supervisors Gloria Molina and Mark Ridley-Thomas would split the San Fernando Valley - now represented by two supervisors - into three districts.
