2010 Loss of Congressional Seat

The Star Trib reported today on what we've been writing about for a few months, that it is likely Minnesota will lose a congressional seat in 2010. Minnesota is growing, but not at the pace of places like Florida, Arizona, and Nevada.

An interesting new piece of information is that there could be momentum to combine districts 4 and 5, the Minneapolis and St. Paul districts. This would be much more likely if Republicans are in power at the state level in 2010.
