ALBANY, N.Y. – Both chambers of the state legislature have passed a bill to drastically change Upstate New York’s Judicial District lines.
According to The Daily News, this bill would split Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and the rural counties that surround them.
The Seventh Judicial District would be reorganized to include only Monroe County and Rochester, with similar moves being made for Buffalo and Syracuse.
Supporters of the bill say it will make the courts more representative of the districts’ populations. Opponents say it’s just a power play to get more democrats elected to the courts.
Gov. Kathy Hochul now has to decide whether to sign the bill or veto it.
