Ind. Law - "Ind. lawmakers to consider redistricting changes"

Here is what the Indiana Constitution, Article 4, Sec. 5, provides:

Section 5. The General Assembly elected during the year in which a federal decennial census is taken shall fix by law the number of Senators and Representatives and apportion them among districts according to the number of inhabitants in each district, as revealed by that federal decennial census. The territory in each district shall be contiguous.
(History: As amended March 14, 1881; November 6, 1984).
Mike Smith of the AP has a lengthy story today about legislative preparations for redistricting in 2011.
