Groups see opportunity in Bush aiding Calif. redistricting plan

Groups wanting an independent panel to draw Florida's political boundaries are using Gov. Jeb Bush's support of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to make their case.

The groups, including one founded by Democrat Betty Castor, are letting supporters know that Bush helped Schwarzenegger raise money last week for the California governor's proposed ballot initiatives. One of those measures would create an independent redistricting panel, which could help the Republican governor whittle down the Democrats' power in the California Legislature.

"My first thought was 'Gee whiz, this is very interesting,'" Castor said about learning of the fundraisers, which drew between $1,000 and $50,000 per person.

Castor is involved with two groups — Campaign For Florida's Future and the Committee for Fair Elections — that support a proposed Florida ballot measure that would create an independent panel to draw legislative and congressional districts.
