From Cleveland.com:
Politicians with an eye on higher office are energizing the debate over how the state draws legislative boundaries, long manipulated by the party that controls Columbus.
Two proposals by Republicans emerged last week, adding to an ongoing push for change from Democratic Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
Republican State Sen. Kevin Coughlin, of Cuyahoga Falls, who has announced a bid for governor, and State Sen. Gary Cates, of West Chester, introduced a resolution Tuesday to increase the size of the State Apportionment Board, which redraws state legislative districts every 10 years after the Census.
