Part 4/6:
One senator, Senator Zaffini, requested recognition to briefly oppose SB4. He indicated that he had prepared a lengthy 13-page statement outlining his opposition, which he intended to present during a future special session dedicated to redistricting. By doing so, he reserved his right to fully articulate his concerns at a later date, suggesting that the issues surrounding SB4 warranted further discussion.
Senator Zaffini’s stance underscores the contentious nature of redistricting bills, which often evoke strong opinions related to political fairness, representation, and partisan interests. His remarks reflect that opposition to SB4 was anticipated to continue and that debate over the bill was far from settled.
