Monday News: Trudymandering on trial

LAWMAKERS GIVEN 30 DAYS TO EXPLAIN WITHHELD DOCUMENTS (Greensboro News & Record) -- State lawmakers have 30 days to tell a federal judge what documents they are withholding from the plaintiffs in the Greensboro City Council redistricting lawsuit. Eight Republican legislators and a legislative staff member were subpoenaed in February to turn over materials, including emails that could explain how and why the law was created. Attorneys with the N.C. Attorney General’s Office argued that the lawmakers have legislative privilege and do not need to comply. Only Rep. John Blust of Guilford County has complied with the subpoena so far.
