Tangipa, who previously worked for a Fresno County supervisor, in an Assembly hearing called AB 1441 “targeted legislation” to force Republican counties to “fall in line.”
“I think a lot of (what) this bill does is … it tells those who were duly elected, and the natural process and how redistricting has (been) done before with the local electeds who spend a majority of their time there, that you no longer get to be part of that voice,” Tangipa said.
