This needs to be remedied.

When a 14-member citizens commission meets next year to redraw legislative district boundaries for California, it will not include any resident from the biggest city in the state, Los Angeles.

The list of 36 finalists being considered for the commission includes two residents each from Sacramento, San Francisco and Oakland but none who lives in Los Angeles, which does not please L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and others.

"The mayor is obviously concerned that no one from the city of Los Angeles — the largest city in the state of California — is on the commission, as it should be a balanced representation of the state population,'' said Sarah Hamilton, a spokeswoman for the mayor.

Maybe because there really isn't much at stake in Los Angeles since the city is Democratic in all areas and even the county only has pockets of Republican voters or in sparsely populated areas like the desert.
