Senate committee advances two reapportionment plans in Topeka
In Topeka senators push two new congressional maps to redraw Kansas districts. Douglas County critics fear loss of influence as plans shift Lawrence to the 5th District and Wyandotte and Sedgwick counties are realigned. One proposal moves Reno County to the 1st District, while another keeps Reno in the 4th. A Steineger plan would not split counties but moves about a dozen counties into new districts.
