Gerrymandering Gone Wild Series Part 4 – Legal Action Against Partisan Gerrymandering

The Supreme Court ruled that gerrymandering was unconstitutional, but there are still loopholes where politicians can get away with it. This technique has been used to influence elections and has been employed by both Democrats and Republicans but used more by Republicans. Beverly talks with Doug Poland, Litigation Director of Forward Law, a non-profit, non-partisan law firm about how gerrymandering affects the way we vote and what can be done about it as politicians continue their abuse of power by manipulating district lines behind closed doors without public oversight or consent.

This is The 411 Live. Real People. Real Talk.

BEVERLY TAYLOR, HOST

Beverly Taylor is a prober, listener and talker. She utilized all those skills as an anchor and reporter at WITI-TV (Fox 6 News). During her 21 years there, Beverly became a very recognized face in southeast Wisconsin. The most rewarding aspect of the job for her was telling stories that make a positive difference in people’s lives and stories that bring awareness. That included multiple stories about sex trafficking, which makes this podcast about the subject a logical fit.

For her efforts, Beverly has received a lot in return. She’s met people in different stages of life: during their most joyous times, their most vulnerable times, and their most painful times. These people have given Beverly tremendous examples of courage, generosity and determination.

Beverly has received many honors for her reporting, including three EMMY nominations. The University of Tennessee graduate also has a Master’s Degree in Dispute Resolution from Marquette University. She left TV news in December of 2019. Resolving conflict is another way she hopes to make a positive difference in the lives of others. She is a video production contractor, voice-over artist and podcaster.

Putting God first is a constant aim for Beverly. She is a member of New Testament Church of Milwaukee, and loves hanging out with her husband Julian and son, Nate.

“Always live life with a purpose” is Lashondra’s motto. She strives to make at least one person smile everyday because, as she says, “You never know what that person is going through, and making them smile could change their mood and make life just a little better.”
