Legislative limelights Reapportion ruling poses complex points Item Info

A newspaper article discussing: District Judge Dar Cogswell's decision to reject Idaho's 1982 legislative plans has caused confusion about the November election. The ruling stops county boundary splits, which goes against federal law. If the decision stands, it could be taken to the U.S. Supreme Court. Governor Evans agrees with the decision, but lawmakers plan to appeal. If the ruling holds, there may be special elections in April 1983, which could complicate the 1983 legislative session.
