Peoria, IL, USA 104.9 The Wolf PEORIA, Ill. — Illinois’ new legislative maps are out. And, for the first time, the maps have been drawn up by state politicians without the use of data from the U.S. Census. Republican State Rep. Ryan Spain, of Peoria, told WMBD’s “The Greg and Dan Show”, there are a lot of problems with the maps. “It looks like it was drawn to divide communities like Peoria, which is really contradictory to all of the testimony we’ve received from witnesses over the past two months,” Spain said. Public hearings statewide have shown that citizens want to change the way redistricting is done in Illinois, but the maps continue to be drawn up to benefit the Democratic party, Spain said.
