Description: "And now with term limits the actors and all the stakeholders involved are likely going to be different every ten years so I think it's one of those things where you know politics everyone has short term memories to begin with and when you extend something and only do it once every ten years the memories just don't last that long." |
House Democratic Minority Leader Mike Talboy agrees the process needs fixing, saying it's time to find some way to make the redistricting process not as disjointed as Missouri has now.
