◼ SACRAMENTO, CA – Today during a California Redistricting Commission meeting at the McGeorge School of Law, CRP Communications Director Mark Standriff personally delivered a letter to the Chairman of the California Citizens Redistricting Commission calling for the prompt resignation of Dr. Gabino T. Aguirre, who according to the Cal Watchdog blog has failed to disclose any of his political contributions, as well as his current advisory board membership with the Central Coast Alliance for a Sustainable Economy more commonly known as CAUSE. California Republican Party Chairman Tom Del Beccaro is calling either for Aguirre to resign or for Governor Jerry Brown to remove him.
Cal Watchdog’s investigation of Aguirre’s political past found that he has made multiple political campaign contributions to Democratic candidates and has a special "web of connections" with a special interest group that submitted its own redistricting proposals to the commission. This revelation comes amidst recent public criticism that the Redistricting Commission maintains a partisan slant.
