NYC would get more seats in state Senate under proposed maps

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Two more state senators would represent New York City in the Legislature under crucial new maps released Tuesday that would set political boundaries for the next decade.

Legislative leaders plan to fast-track passage of the redistricting task force’s maps for Assembly and Senate districts as the March 1 start of the political season approaches.

Lawmakers expect to hold initial votes on the new congressional and legislative maps as soon as Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
