Re-apportionment Debate Hinges On White Bill
The re apportionment bill sits unsettled as Prowers and Baca join for one representative, Bent and Kiowa for one, and Otero for one. A senator district would form from Otero, Bent, Kiowa, and Prowers. Arapahoe and Pueblo oppose, fearing disadvantage to larger counties. An amendment to boost larger counties’ representation is drafted, potentially creating a Prowers Bent Kiowa Baca district while preserving the current senatorial plan. The authors expect the White bill to pass largely as introduced.
