MN Redistricting Begins

A proposed Republican redistricting plan would dramatically change the political boundaries for the Central Brainerd Lakes Area.  This district, which is now part of 4B, would become 5B.

If approved, the district would run from central Crow Wing County through Cass County and into Wadena County. 

State Representative Larry Howes says the district would fall outside of his influence.

DFL-ers have already objected to the plan.  The Governor will have his own proposal. 

Representative Howes says they tried to word the redistricting in the same way the courts might approach it, because they will more than likely have the final say.
