What is the
Apportionment Board?
The Board consists of the Governor, Secretary of State, State Auditor, and a Republican and Democrat selected from the Legislature. Control is important because the Board redraws the State House and State Senate districts based on the 2010 national census. The Party redrawing the district lines will have a huge advantage in determining control of the legislature in 2012 and beyond. The 2010 legislature will redraw the US House districts.

Clermont County Commissioner -
Archie Wilson.
Clermont County Common Pleas Court - Ric Ferenc and
