TRENTON — It’s not just Republican lawmakers who oppose redistricting changes that could secure Democrats’ electoral advantage for decades to come.
Two New Jersey academics who have extensively studied how the state draws its legislative districts gave scathing testimony Thursday against the proposed constitutional amendment.
Patrick Murray, director of the Monmouth University Polling Institute, said wording of the amendment is deliberately misleading to voters, who must decide whether to approve it.
“This is a bald-faced attempt to pull the wool over voters’ eyes; making them complicit in a process that will only serve to increase their cynicism about politics,” Murray told a Senate committee.
Sweeney and friends ae doing everything they can to steal more from NJ taxpayers and give it to their special interests friends, the unions
