Redistricting Splits Butler County In Ohio Plan
A bill advancing in the Ohio Legislature would split Butler County between the Fourth and Seventh Districts. Middletown and nearby townships would join the Seventh, while the rest, including Hamilton, would align with the Fourth. Democrats protest the gerrymander while Republicans privately favor the change though wary of quotes. Further boundary juggling may follow before final passage.
