Last Ditch Stand By 105 House Plan
Proponents in Topeka push the 105 member House plan as an amendment to replace a 125 member reapportionment. Rep. Don Smith and supporters hope to pass the 105 seat plan granting one seat per county while the 125 member plan would give 20 seats to the five most populous counties. The move follows a Kansas Supreme Court ruling that the existing apportionment was invalid. Leaders aim to finish action in the House and then tackle the Senate reapportionment bill.
