ALBANY — The bipartisan state commission tasked with redrawing legislative and congressional lines called it quits Monday without submitting any new maps to lawmakers.
Members of the deadlocked New York State Independent Redistricting Commission, meant to take the politics out of the process, pointed fingers across the aisle as they admitted defeat.
“We have negotiated with our Republican colleagues in good faith for two years to achieve a single consensus plan. At every step, they have refused to agree to a compromise,” the Democratic members said in a statement.
