Congressional Redistricting Plan Approved

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...A congressional redistricting plan has been approved by the Kentucky General Assembly. The House voted 58 to 26 Friday afternoon to approve a plan that shifts geographic boundaries to balance population changes. The Senate passed it 29 to 7 earlier in the day. The plan bolsters the Democrats' hold on the 6th Congressional District represented by U.S. Representative Ben Chandler and allows U.S. Representative Hal Rogers to keep some key GOP counties in the 5th District.
