Kootenai Co To Fight Redistricting Plan
The Kootenai County Commissioners have asked Prosecutor McHugh on behalf of Kootenai County to join a lawsuit being filed by Twin Falls County challenging the redistricting plan that has been adopted by the state. The Idaho Constitution states that the division of counties shall be avoided whenever possible. The current map, L-87, removes the southeast portion of the county and combines it with Legislative District 7. District 7 stretches from Kootenai County all the way south to include Idaho County. Approximately 5,000 Kootenai County residents would be part of a district that will make representation very difficult/Kootenai County commissioners news release. More here.
Question: Do you support the commissioners' decision to join lawsuit against redistricting plan?
