HARRISBURG A former University of Pittsburgh chancellor will chair the committee in charge of drawing Pennsylvania’s legislative districts, a potentially tie-breaking position that can influence who holds power in the General Assembly for the next decade.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court announced Monday that it had appointed Mark Nordenberg, who also previously served as the dean of Pitt’s law school, to the Legislative Reapportionment Commission.
The four legislative leaders on the panel Republicans Sen. Kim Ward of Hempfield and Rep. Kerry Benninghoff of Centre County, and Democrats Sen. Jay Costa of Forest Hills and Rep. Joanna McClinton of Philadelphia failed to agree on a fifth member after interviewing more than 30 people last week, giving the responsibility of naming a chair to the high court.
