Gressette Pushes Poll on Redistricting Plan
Sen. Marion Gressette said asking lawmakers to vote on a plan that would split the Greenville Spartanburg metro area does not end his effort to keep metropolitan areas intact. The second conference committee on redistricting failed to break a six month stalemate as they reconvened after a two hour session with grim signals from Rep. Bob Sheheen. Legal briefs are due Friday on two federal lawsuits challenging failure to reapportion.

Once 200 in Asakusa, the district now has roughly half that number, with nationwide estimates of about 2,000 genuine geisha remaining.
