Ohio Redistricting Commission hearing in Warrensville Heights has begun. Democrats expected to offer an amendment to the maps. You can follow along here. ohiochannel.org/live/special-e…
Democrats are offering their proposed amendments, which would give them 42 House and 13 Senate seats.
Here's what was uploaded to Dave's Redistricting:

House: davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap::…

Senate: davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap::…
Under the proposed Democrat map, Forest Park would be in the 29th district but keep it with Springdale, Mount Healthy and North College Hill.

There would be one GOP House district in western Hamilton County, likely pitting Rep. Abrams v. Rep. Seitz. Don't see GOP liking that.
