Iowa Supreme Court reveals reapportionment plan
Reactions vary as Iowa's high court issues its own redistricting plan after ruling the 1971 map unconstitutional. The justices claim near equal population among Senate and House districts, with even numbered districts getting four year terms and odd districts two. Incumbents face new district lines and possible primary battles. Local reactions range from praise for fairness to confusion over current residences and representation. A League of Women Voters spokesman calls the plan tremendous and the best in the nation.
