Muddled Reapportionment Issue Gets Clarification
In Lansing the House Towns and Counties Committee moved to fix court induced timing issues for county board reapportionment. A rewritten Senate bill would require at large seven member boards in counties missing plans by June 25 and push candidate filing from June 18 to July 2. It would also let present supervisors redraw districts in counties under 100,000 residents. The measure limits legal challenges to new plans and shifts duties in several large counties.
