OP-ED – Redistricting the right way

Redistricting the right way

Leadership matters. Specifically, who is in a position of leadership, and who is not, matters.

One of the most far-reaching accomplishments of the recently concluded 2012 session of the Mississippi Legislature is also one that received relatively little fanfare. In the waning hours of the session, legislators overwhelmingly approved redistricting plans.

The change in leadership from the Democrats — who were in charge of last year’s redistricting fracas — made a pronounced difference on the House side, and as a result, in the whole process.
