A local business owner and former political candidate is one of several people who have signed onto a lawsuit about how the new district map for State House of Representatives could divide up Butler County.
Earlier this week, a lawsuit filed by Butler native Republican Ryan Covert and others named the Legislative Reapportionment Commission as the defendant responsible for a map approved February 4th that could split the county into four different legislative districts.
The suit calls the House proposal an “unconstitutional political gerrymander” as a preliminary map advanced in December would have divided the county into three districts but the newest division was “orchestrated to protect incumbent state representatives”.
The law firm of Lieutenant Governor candidate Jennifer Gilliland Vanasdale is representing the plaintiffs in this case.
