“One of the state’s most prestigious Latino organizations is mounting an opposition campaign to the redistricting plan being floated by big Republican donors and Governor Schwarzenegger — and surprisingly, by former Controller Steve Westly.

In a letter to the Pasadena City Council — which plans to vote on endorsing the initiative — the William C. Velasquez Institute calls the initiative “a flawed piece of legislation that contains numerous suspect provisions and is not the answer” and “full of unrealistic goals, harmful rules, and complex systems that would impede competent redistricting by commissioners and limit involvement by members of the public and experienced line drawers alike.”"*
