At Kentucky.com, House Speaker Greg Stumbo has asked state House members to propose new
boundaries for their legislative districts by next Friday, disregarding a
request by Gov. Steve Beshear to delay redistricting until later this
year.
…Stumbo said he would like to accommodate Beshear’s request, “but we
must realize this is strictly a legislative responsibility and I believe
we should attempt to put together a plan that can pass the House and
comply with the latest court decision.”
He was referring to the
Kentucky Supreme Court’s decision to throw out last year’s legislative
redistricting attempt after the maps were challenged by House
Republicans and Sen. Kathy Stein, D-Lexington.
