As word spreads that Governor Andrew Cuomo [may go for the New York State Legislature’s most recent](http://online.wsj.com/article/APafc6a4f784f84fbb9948f9885d462161.html?ref=bklyner.com) redistricting proposals – despite eery [similarities to earlier proposals](/gounardes-golden-ignoring-redistricting-problem/) he had vowed to veto – two local pols debate the pros and cons of a “Super-Jewish” State Senate district stretching from Borough Park to Marine Park.

In the above audio \[via [Yeshiva World News](http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/General+News/121254/AUDIO%3A-Hikind-vs.-Greenfield---Super-Jews-Square-Off-Over-Super-Jewish-District.html?ref=bklyner.com)\], Councilman David Greenfield – a Democrat who opposes the creation of a single, heavily Orthodox Jewish district – goes on State Assemblyman Dov Hikind’s radio program to debate the issue.

Assemblyman Hikind, who is also a Democrat, backs the unified district.

Many speculate the district would be a boon to Republicans, due to its residents’ relatively [conservative voting habits](http://www.truetorahjews.org/huffingtongop?ref=bklyner.com).

Hikind has been known to break with the Democratic Party at times, “[most notably](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dov%5FHikind?ref=bklyner.com) in his endorsement of Republican candidates George Pataki for governor in 1994, and George W. Bush for president.”
