Sonoma County's redistricting advisory panel wanted to make the five supervisorial district boundaries more equitable, but the map they drew is anything but, critics say. The county's Advisory Redistricting Commission, a 19-member citizen's group tasked with drafting the map, will present it to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday, ahead of the state's December deadline for approval. The commission's map, which it voted to forward the supervisors last week, has already drawn a public outcry. The map — known as NDC-D-51162 — would move unite all of Rohnert Park into District 5, which encompasses the Russian River and stretches along the coast up to Sea Ranch.
