New legislative districts adopted

The Arkansas Board of Apportionment, made up of the governor, attorney general and secretary of state, met today for the purpose of approving new legislative districts for both the state House and Senate. The board is charged with modifying legislative districts every ten years following a census in order to comply with the one-man, one-vote requirement. My senate district picked up an additional 8,500 residents from northern Sevier County (DeQueen and Gillham), and I lost Taylor in western Columbia County. Here's the new Senate map:
