The proposed budget from Governor Evers will include a new nonpartisan redistricting process.
It’s something Majority Republican leaders in the Legislature oppose.
Jay Heck of the government watchdog group Common Cause believes the public wants to see fair political boundaries. He hopes it will be an opportunity to let people know about the need for changes.
The maps Majority Republicans drew in 2011 are still being challenged in court lawsuits.
Evers hopes to set up a special commission to handle the job. The Legislature would still be able to make small changes, and the governor could sign or veto the political districts.
