An article in the Columbus Dispatch says that John Husted wants to end gerrymandering in Ohio and that he is preparing a legislative proposal to change Ohio’s method of creating legislative districts. The article said that Husted’s proposal calls for reforming the five member State Apportionment Board.
The article said that, “If Husted can’t get the legislature to approve plans in time for the November ballot, he will lead a voter-petition drive to place the reform measures on the statewide ballot in 2010.”
I emailed the author of the article, Joe Hallet, and asked where I could find a copy of Husted proposals. Hallet sent me the following reply: “Husted does not have a proposal ready. He said he was in the process of crafting it and would consult with Republicans, Democrats and good-govt groups like the League of Women Voters. Sorry if the story left you or other readers with the impression that Husted had a plan ready to go.”
