Stop the madness
This redistricting map is a joke. Presently, seven of Bucks County’s 10 legislative districts are competitive either through election results, party registration or both. The proposed LRC map will result in eight noncompetitive seats-- five safe seats for one party, three safe seats for the other, and two seats that lean toward the party with the five safe seats. Competition breeds excellence. It breeds innovation. It instills a sense of urgency to be effective and a means of accountability for those who aren't. Removing competition invites complacency. It invites inertia. It breeds more of the same.
