ALBANY — Assembly Democrats want to send Queens Republican Rep. Bob Turner home from Congress — by eliminating his seat.
The Democrats were expected to submit a proposed congressional reapportionment plan to the courts that essentially eliminates the Queens-Brooklyn district of disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner.
The GOP’s proposal, also submitted yesterday, would largely preserve the old Weiner district — won by Republican Turner in a September 2011 special election — and instead merge the district of Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-Queens) into that of Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-Nassau).
