Sen. @LouAnnLinehan opens by asking folks to understand this is a hard process, reaffirming that minority communities are protected & talking about what districts have been tweaked & shifted. She is now addressing an op-ed published this morning saying it had "substantial error"
She has not clarified where or by who this op-ed but is now speaking vaguely about the accusations without listing any names except Sen. Dorn and Sen. Brandt. She says she will "save her other frustrations for later."
