| Description | Arkansas legislators reconvened to start their second week of the 88th General Assembly tackling the thorny issues of redrawing political boundaries and opening up their committees for Internet viewing.
Lawmakers learned that in leveling the state's four Congressional districts, Arkansas could be looking to split counties for the first time in order to meet legal requirements.
"If we do one-person, one-vote, then we're going to have to split counties," Sen. Gilbert Baker, R-Conway, said in reference to a federal court mandate to draw Congressional lines as evenly as possible. |
