Kentucky Unlikely To Lose Representation
KENTUCKY...
One of Kentucky's leading demographers predicted the state won't face the loss of a congressional seat after the U.S. Census Bureau releases fresh population totals on Tuesday.
Ron Crouch, former executive director of the Kentucky State Data Center at the University of Louisville, said population estimates showing Kentucky has had modest growth since 2000 bodes well for the state.
The Census Bureau's once-a-decade count will be used to reapportion the 435 U.S. House seats among the 50 states. The last time Kentucky lost a congressional seat was after an unfavorable 1990 Census count.
That reduced the state's congressional districts from seven to the current six.
