There’s bipartisan unhappiness in the Missouri House over the new district boundaries drawn by a panel of judges. Majority leader Tim Jones says 23 of the new House districts include two incumbents, and three more include three incumbents.
Jones and House Minority Leader Mike Talboy cite the Sunshine law in demanding all documents used to decide where to draw the lines. An attorney for the redistricting commission says the Sunshine law does not apply. Jones says there’s no reason why it shouldn’t, and this may be the time to talk about reforming the redistricting process.
