Redistricting 2011: It All Starts Now
In 2011, Ohio will redraw its state and congressional districts based on the results of the 2010 Census. How this is done will determine the political landscape of the state for the next 10 years or more. There are a number of proposals to change the process. Join us to learn what these proposals are, how they might change the process and the importance of the 2010 census.

---------------------
WCPN had a report on redistricting on Monday, March 1, 2010. Ann Henkener, Director and Legislative Director of the LWV Ohio was one of the panelists. Listen to the broadcast HERE.
Broadcast information:
Every ten years, a few state leaders get together behind closed doors to draw a new map that has considerable influence over which of their elected colleagues will have to fight to keep their jobs. It's called redistricting, and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are pushing proposals to throw open those closed doors. Listen to a conversation about the Republican and Democratic ideas, the suprisingly fertile middle ground between them, and why this all matters for democracy.
Guests
State Sen. Jon Husted (R-6, Kettering)
State Rep. Tom Letson (D-64, Trumbull)
