The five-member panel that's trying its hand at the once-a-decade task of redrawing the boundaries of Pennsylvania's legislative districts will meet again in hopes of finalizing a plan.
The Legislative Reapportionment Commission meeting Friday in Harrisburg is more than four months after the state Supreme Court struck down its earlier plan, saying it split too many municipalities and assembled too many poorly shaped districts.
The commission includes a court-appointed judge and four legislative leaders. A new plan it advanced in early April would move the Pittsburgh-area seat of a recently resigned and jailed senator across the state to a growing area in northeastern Pennsylvania.
But changes to it are possible because it also would leave three Senate candidates this year out of the districts they could soon represent.
Pennsylvania's 2001 legislative district maps were used for those districts in the April 24 primary.
