Findlay Courier: Bipartisanship is a concept that has not been associated with Ohio’s

Findlay Courier: Bipartisanship is a concept that has not been associated with Ohio’s redistricting process for decades, if not longer.

But there was a hint of cooperation last week when lawmakers not only discussed a redistricting reform bill, but voted on one, and most Republicans and Democrats in the House liked it.

The fact that redistricting is even on the table now, at a time when Republicans could easily push it aside until a much later date, is an encouraging development.

Voters shouldn’t hold their breath, but there’s at least a sense that lawmakers may be finally getting serious about reform.

Even though Republicans are firmly in control of state government, it would behoove them to approve a fairer system. One day, after all, they may not hold the power as they do now and map-making would be in the hands of Democrats
