Remarks by Assemblymen Giunchigliani, Hettrick, Carpenter, de Braga and Dini.
Assemblyman Dini requested that the following remarks be entered in the Journal.
Assemblywoman Giunchigliani:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. AB 665 is a bill that is fair and constitutional. It is a solid plan that accomplishes the two most important goals of redistricting. First and foremost, it provides equal representation for all Nevadans. The second goal accomplished by this plan is compliance with the Voting Rights Act. Thirdly, the population variation between the largest and smallest district is less than 2 percent. That is why we are confident the bill and plan it contains will meet every constitutional test. In drafting this bill, our first step in the process was to fulfill our legislative duty as set forth to determine the size of the Legislature. As we all know, the law states that it is the Legislature’s responsibility to determine the size and AB 665 maintains the current size. We believe the plan, which continues to have a 42 member Assembly and 21 member Senate, ensures one person, one vote. The plan has districts that are contiguous and preserve neighborhoods. It provides communities of interest the opportunity to elect a candidate that they best feel represents their interest. We believe this plan or any plan that could command a majority of this Assembly will provide the opportunity for a variety of constituencies to elect the representative of their choice. This is especially true in Nevada’s growing Hispanic community.
AB 665 creates a new Senate seat with no incumbent, which happens to also contain Hispanic population which ensures an effective majority in that district so the population has the opportunity to elect a candidate of their choosing. We preserve the seats represented by the African American community. There are six open seats in Clark County, which we believe afford the opportunity for various groups to sponsor and elect someone representing their community of interest. AB 665 also revises the districts for representatives in Congress. The measure creates a new third Congressional seat within Clark County. The plan contains an overall range of deviation of 0 percent (36 people), from the ideal population of 666,086 people per Congressional district and complies with the equal population criteria established by the United States Supreme Court. The measure also adds to Chapter 304 of the Nevada Revised Statutes the definitions of block, block group and census track for the purposes of reapportioning and redistricting Congressional districts. The bill makes it clear that each state Senator who was elected on November 7, 2000 shall serve the remainder of his or her term and specifies that those Senators shall represent the new districts in which they reside beginning on the date of the next general election, November 6, 2002.
Finally, AB 665 specifies that the current term of the Senator elected from the Clark County Senatorial District No. 5 expires on November 6, 2002 and sets forth the beginning and ending terms for the three open Senate seats proposed under this plan. We will continue working with groups throughout this process. As we all know, all legislation is a work in progress and I would urge your support of AB 665.
Assemblyman Hettrick:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to AB 665. I would simply say that as my colleague from Assembly District 9 testified in committee when we heard this bill, it’s a great place to begin negotiating from. Thank you.
Assemblyman Carpenter:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Because Assemblyman Marvel and I have to share a district, I have mixed emotions. It might not be too bad of an idea. I can serve the first 60 days when we get paid and I’ll let him come the rest of the time. He says, “We’ll flip.” I think, because I’m the junior member, I get to come first.
Assemblyman de Braga:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to AB 665, but after hearing the comments from my colleague from Elko, I might change my mind. I realize this is just a starting place but I have to argue for the loss of rural seats that would occur in keeping the same number of seats in the Legislature. My only interest is in preserving as much of the integrity of those districts as now exists. They are already tremendously large and I think it undermines rural representation.
Assemblyman Dini:
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think I wanted to say about the same thing as my colleague from Assembly District No. 35 said, although I’m going to vote for the bill. I think in the long run we will negotiate this thing into something more workable. I was the first one who spoke up for adding more seats to the numbers. We haven’t found the magic number yet, but there are better alternatives than 42, from those of us who come from rural Nevada. I think that the districts are too big and it compacts us in the western part of the state, and crunches us against the western borders. I don’t think it is the best possible plan that we could have without adding numbers. So I will put my protest in that we need to add numbers to give the rural people a chance to have some effective representation.
