The council voiced its opposition to a state bill that would establish an independent redistricting commission.
Councilmember Kevin De León was one of the two council members who voted No and who support the state bill . His comments on the council floor drew a rebuke from his colleague Hugo Soto-Martínez, who called out De León's involvement in the recent leaked tape scandal.as they talked about how to redraw district lines. De León is one of the people heard on the tape — and the only one still in office — despite calls for him to resign.
He supports the redistricting reform bill — saying the state Senate"is giving the residents of the City of L.A. a gift in Senate Bill 52 for a fully independent process, an opportunity to quickly establish an independent commission made up of L.A. city residents to hold public hearings and redraw lines."
In response, Soto-Martínez told De León he"truly has no shame ... I mean, to come here and speak on this subject, the very subject that you had your hands in, is beyond me. Is this a Hollywood movie that I'm watching right now?"
