<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 13, 2011) The battle over legislative redistricting in New York is heating up as lawmakers have begun the process of reshaping electoral districts following last year’s census.In a development that hits close to home in the North Country…a redistricting task force announced last week it would ignore a law requiring prison inmates to be counted at their last known address, raising the ire of some civil rights groups. The law passed in 2010 when Democrats controlled both legislative houses and the governor’s mansion. The measure has since been challenged in court by nine Republican state senators.Betty Little is a plaintiff in that lawsuit. She spoke with Chris Morris.
