Letter: Gerrymandering undermines democracy

Published: 03-12-2025 4:09 PM

Representatives Vose and Hill provide an eloquent argument to deny our children an adequate education in their Feb. 27 My Turn titled “Legislature has the power to loosen the purse strings.” They argue that the state Supreme Court has overstepped its authority to mandate more state funding for education since the “voter reigns supreme” by “using the ballot box to tell candidates for governor, the executive council and the legislature what they want and don’t want.” I can therefore assume that they will strongly advocate for the abolition of gerrymandering in our state, since that will more accurately reflect the will of the voter.
