Bullitt Co., KY, legislative districting okayed
An attorney representing a group of Bullitt County residents said yesterday that he would appeal a judge's decision upholding a redistricting plan that divided the county among four state legislative districts.
In a 10-page ruling issued Friday, Franklin Circuit Judge Roger Crittenden criticized the meandering 18th Legislative District but wrote that it still passed constitutional muster. ...
Crittenden's ruling denied a motion by the plaintiffs asking the judge to order a new redistricting plan that would divide Bullitt County into fewer districts. The lawsuit argued that the redistricting bill passed by the General Assembly eroded Bullitt's political power, with three of the four districts dominated by other counties. -- Appeal planned in redistricting case (Louisville Courier-Journal)
