2015-2344 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council of the City of
Pittsburgh believes that our current system of districting has the potential to diminish
meaningful choice during elections, diminish the accountability of elected officials to

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Council of the City of Pittsburgh calls
upon the Members of the Pennsylvania Senate and the Pennsylvania House of
Representatives to vote for passage of Senate Bill 484 to amend the Constitution of
