Accord Reached On Senator Bill In Senate Reapportionment Talks
In a rare bipartisan move the Alabama Senate reached a near unheard of accord on reapportionment. Senator Lawrence K. Andrews of Bullock County backed by Pelham Merrill Cleburne County and Black Belt leaders pushed a constitutional amendment aimed at reshaping Senate districts. The plan would lift the district cap from 35 to 47 with each county receiving a single senatorial seat, while cities or counties affected could vote on the amendment rather than the entire state. The proposal follows months of negotiations and mirrors a House backed measure pending, with committee action noting mixed support and potential revisions.
