New initiative filled that would strip Legislature of drawing their own districts

The California Common Cause filled an initiative yesterday that would put the task of drawing California's districts into the hands of a 14-member citizens commission made up of 5 democrats, 5 republicans and 4 independents.

The initiative comes after years of fustration, due to the inability of the Legislature to agree on a new method to draw California's districts.  In the last two election cylces, not a single seat of the 120 possible seats in the California Legislature changed hands.
