I first ran into Tuckerboy at a Wasilla Chamber of Commerce meeting in late early '89. He was telling the naive attendees that Mat-Su deserved, but was being denied, more representation in the legislature. As a supposed example of partisanship, he said an unnamed Democrat in California was doing its congressional  redistricting entirely by himself. 

From the audience, I pointed out the guy was the late Rep. Phil Burton, who controlled the state's federal redistricting in 1981. As Phil was approached in D.C. by members of each party, worried about their tenure, asking how it was going, he gave them all the same reply: "You're in Your Mother's Arms!" It was called the "bipartisan incumbent protection plan." 

I doubt if I've ever heard Shortcock ever tell the truth about anything.

In 1991, in charge of redistricting as a reward for engineering the defeat of Republican Arliss Sturgelewski, he drew an outrageously partisan, later expensively overturned, map for the Hickel administration.
