Cuomo to sign NY Legislature's redistricting plan

The Senate Republican and Assembly Democratic majorities planned to pass the plan Wednesday night, despite condemnation from some good-government groups that the district lines were gerrymandered to protect the majorities' political power and perks for the next 10 years.
