Delegate Proposes 16
Senatorial Districts for
State of Alaska
FAIRBANKS, —A delegate to
the Constitutional Convention has
jumped with both feet into the
murky problem of reapportipn
ment by proposing 16 senatorial
districts be set up for Alaska.
Jack Hinkle’s step came in the
wake of numerous proposals to
leave things pretty much as they
are. The Anchorage delegate’s pro
posal, No. 42, was referred to the
Committee on Apportionment.
This committee is reportedly
thinking seriously about changing
current boundaries for fuller rep
resentation.
Hinkle would carve Alaska into
16 legislative districts, with one
senator from each plus four at
large.
The proposal includes instruc
tion to the first state legislature to
appoint a commission to study
possible relocation of legislative
and'senatorial boundaries to con
form to geographical characteris
tics and economic areas. Hinckle’s
proposal would empower the leg
islature to change boundaries.
