The agenda is meaningless. If they have a plan
about how they are going to approach revisions it is known only to them. They have not discussed if they will start w/ Congress or w/ State; MarCo, South, North, VRA or some other process.
Stick around. We'll find out together.

Commissions discussing work arounds of the fabulous #TimmonsTool.
Chair @ErikaNeuberg addresses the fact that the Dec 4 meeting was not "captured live" for first 4 items and assures the public no votes were taken. Video is up on website -
and in doing so undermine the integrity of the @ArizonaIRC itself.
Commissioner Mehl used his position of public trust on the @ArizonaIRC to advance a personal, partisan interest. That is the textbook definition of corruption.
That he attempted it in full-daylight makes it no less corrupt. The fact that he tried to hide it shows he knew it was corrupt. @ErikaNeuberg feigns confusion as to why this is fundamentally different from the @NNHRC1, the #LatinoCoalition or others submitting proposed districts.
Happy Sunday!
Today is a breather from the 5-plus hour hearing yesterday and the first day of @ArizonaIRC mapping "real" districts tomorrow starting at 9:00 am - Link to view:
And sharing the link to time-stamped, computer generated transcripts here (current now through December 3) tinyurl.com/IRCtranscripts
Please note: Transcripts from @ArizonaIRC of recent hearings and upcoming mapping sessions will not be available until AFTER they have voted on final maps.
Just one more measure of how little they value transparency & public participation. And how much we DO! You're welcome!
Hi All - the last @ArizonaIRC public hearings about to start in Maryvale and Tucson. I will be looking to see if the liars and cheats associated w/ @SALCLeaders will double down and be out in force - or do they step back after having their lies exposed?
In Maryvale, how many speakers will note if they are "paid" or not - after @ErikaNeuberg's tone deaf statement yesterday?
As an aside - busses may have been used in some communities to attend hearings because hearings were held in unaccessible locations -
off of public transportation routes. I wonder if that constitutes "being paid".
Meeting with AZ Legislative leaders and @ArizonaIRC begins.
As the go through pro-forma beginnings - I will point out that any documents received from the AZ Legislature have not been made public. Nearly a year into operations they still act as if they have no official obligations of functional operations.
Minority Leaders Senator Rios, and Representative Reginald Bolding present. Majority Leader Speaker Bowers showing up at 1:00.
So. Very. Interesting. Once again, Commissioner Mehl is exposed as manipulating the @ArizonaIRC for partisan interests. Will it make any difference to how @ErikaNeuberg considers "fair and competitive."
It would not be inappropriate for Commissioner Mehl to resign. He's a cheat. And it is not so much that he cheats - it is that he feels free to cheat without consequence. There is "right" and there is "fair". Com. Mehl has demonstrated he can not be trusted to be either.
Tune in today for the @ArizonaIRC meeting at noon when the AIRC hears from the Arizona State Legislature on the proposed draft maps.
What a farce. In not a good or humorous way.
