I'm at the State House where the House is taking up the congressional redistricting map now. Follow along malegislature.gov/Events/Session… #mapoli Assistant House Majority Leader @staterepmike, who co-leads redistricting, says mapmakers used “sound redistricting principles that were transparent & known to all from the very beginning of this process.” This comes amid big backlash to Fall River/New Bedford split #mapoli
