Democrats Favor Population Redistricting in Wisconsin
Wisconsin Democrats completed their two day conclave with a defeat for a population only redistricting plan and a push for a November advisory referendum against McCarthy. The platform endorses population based assembly seats with area based senate seats, a lower voting age to 18, taxes on banks and railroads, a 75 cent hour minimum wage, expanded unemployment benefits, and a state radio council. The ticket includes Henry Reuss for U.S. senator and William Proxmire for governor, with a slate of other state and congressional candidates.
