Senate remap plan stirs Southern Illinois politics
Springfield lawmakers weigh a GOP reapportionment proposal that would redraw boundaries across Southern Illinois. Sen. Gene Johns and Sen. Kenneth Buzbee warn it could threaten counties Franklin Union and Williamson while Sen. Mark Rhoads touts a plan aimed at downstate balance and population shifts since 1970. The proposal would affect districts 58 and 59 and potentially shift incumbent alignments ahead of the June 30 deadline.
