No special session for redistricting, Barbour says
Gov. Haley Barbour is not planning to call a special session on remapping legislative districts, despite requests from two House and Senate leaders.

Legislative redistricting ended up in court this year because the House and Senate could not agree on a plan to redraw districts to match population shifts found by the 2010 census.
