A statement from Kansas City's Downtown State Rep. about Missouri Redistricting that we just noted . . .
“The Appellate Apportionment Commission did the right thing by acknowledging its blatant constitutional violations in drawing new Missouri Senate districts and taking prompt corrective action. The commission now should take the next step by also revising its redistricting plan for the House of Representatives. Although the House plan doesn’t suffer from the same constitutional infirmities as the original Senate plan, the commission ignored natural geographic boundaries and divided communities in ways that produced House districts that, on the whole, make little sense. Missourians should not be stuck for the next decade with district boundaries that undermine representative democracy, and the commission should develop a workable House redistricting plan while it still has time.”

What does Mikey want? Does he want the commission to include that tiny little chunk of Kansas where he lays his weary head at night? I think Topeka has that chunk Mikey.
