The state Supreme Court today named retired Judge Victoria Marks to lead the state’s reapportionment commission, which will redraw the state’s political boundaries based on the results of the census.
The court made the choice after the eight partisan members of the commission were unable to agree on a ninth member as leader.
The court, in a bow to transparency, also released the names of the people who applied:
Hanalei Aipoalani
Riki May Amano
Lance Collins
Michael Fergus
Rockne Freitas
Gregory Garneau
William Georgi
Timothy Johns
Robert Klein
Lynne Matusow
Abbey Mayer
Lawrence Meacham
Thomas Mitrano
Nikhilananda
William Petti
Rai Saint Chu
Donn Takaki

Good choice. Knows non-partisanship as a judge and has a lower profile than (and as much or more ability as) the other retired judge applicants (Amano and Klein).
