The Platypus of Redistricting
Michigan was known for yeas as one of the most gerrymandered states in the nation. Today, we’ll hear how we got the political representation we have currently, and the latest on what’s going on to change it. GUEST: John Lindstrom is the former publisher of Gongwer News Service and a retired journalist covering state capital politics. Sue Hammersmith is the executive director of the Michigan Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. NOTES: Stateside theme music is by 14KT. Additional music by Blue Dot Sessions.
