Milwaukee Seeks More Assembly Seats in Reapportionment
The Wisconsin Senate backs a GOP plan to realign districts while Democrats attack it. Milwaukee leaders led by Mayor Henry Maier demand more city seats, arguing 19 percent of the state population merits about 19 Assembly seats. The plan keeps Milwaukee County at 24 seats and reduces Milwaukee city to 16 full seats and two fractional ones. Democrats warn Gov. Nelson may oppose the proposal if passed as is, and hearings continue in the Assembly judiciary committee.
