New Area for State Senator


Koochiching County could lose its long-time State Senator under a proposed redrawing of the district's electoral boundaries.

District 3 Senator Tom Saxhaugh says a redistricting plan would see him representing a much different area.

"I would no longer be representing Koochiching County or Lake of the Woods County," says Saxhaugh. "I would be in southern Itasca and I'd be going already the way down to Benton County which is close to St. Cloud."

Saxhaugh doubts, though, the Governor will accept the plan.
