Congrats Elk Falls Twp... you're now in Dist 1

[Patriot]

The county commission did their job well yesterday and re-aligned commissioner districts in Elk County.

Effective immediately, Elk Falls Twp was added to Dist 1 (Commissioner Ritz) and Union Center Twp was added to Dist 3 (Commissioner Libeau).  Mrs Hendricks will continue to represent the townships of Howard & Paw Paw.

This brings the district populations much more in line as required by Kansas statute.  The new numbers look like this:

District 1, Ritz:                 941
District 2, Hendricks:         977
District 3, Liebau:             944
