Governor Holden appoints the final two republicans to the redistricting commission

Governor Bob Holden put an end to a one month old issue Wednesday. Seth Bachelier has more from Jefferson City...

Governor Holden appointed Norman B. Harty and Allison London Smith to the House and Senate redistricting committees.

The vacancies existed because Holden's original appointee, Representative Mark Richardson, withdrew his name from consideration.

And although it took a month, Democratic Senator Stephen Stoll says he supports Holden's actions.

These appointments don't need Senate confirmation, but the attorney general is suggesting it to avoid further conflict.
