Via the Dayton Daily News:
A plan to have a bipartisan board determine the boundaries of state legislative and congressional districts has been approved by the Ohio Senate.The Senate approved the plan Wednesday by a vote of 21-12, with Republicans voting for it and Democrats against it.
The plan, by state Sen. Jon Husted, would take the power of drawing legislative districts away from whichever party controls the state Apportionment Board and give it to a seven-member bipartisan board. A five-vote supermajority would be required to pass a new redistricting plan.
