And so James did come, looked it over, we talked, chatting. James, he did a good job. Did what he said he was going to do. Call Simple Quarters 317, 900 home. All right, redistricting is all the talk in Indiana. Let's go right to the WIBC hotline with the guy who broke the story yesterday that Rod Bray, the pro tem, the leader of the Senate, says they don't have the votes to move forward on redistricting.
