Statement: “Those 5,600 signatures were more people than [San Diego’s Redistricting Commission] heard from the entire eight to 10 months of testimony they’ve taken, emails they’ve received, written comments they’ve received and other petitions from other communities they’ve received,” Andy Berg, president of the Rancho Peñasquitos Town Council, told KPBS in an interview airing Aug. 26 on San Diego Week.

The Redistricting Commission added a new ninth council district stretching from the College Area to Southcrest and adjusted the existing eight to account for population shifts.
