Wrap: Missouri Senators still don't know where their districts lie, but the chair of the bipartisan committee charged with redrawing the districts say they are on an expedited schedule.
The commission released the first map this weekend and held a public hearing in Jefferson City.
Republican Senator Brian Munzlinger says the first map the commission released isn't compact and there are too many drastic changes in his district.

Wrap: Missouri Senators still don't know where their districts lie - and filing for the offices begins in less than two weeks.
The chair of the bipartisan committee redrawing the districts say they are on an expedited schedule after the last two committees failed to make a map that stuck.
Senator Brian Munzlinger says they have a lot more work to do - especially in his district.

Wrap: The chair of the commission says they are on an expedited schedule to get a new map done as soon as possible.
Senators tried to create some breathing room and approved legislation last week that would delay the start of candidate filing until March 27, but the House still has not approved it.
Senator Brian Munzlinger says he hopes the new commission can come up with maps soon that keep both the voters and lawmakers happy.
