Former staff attorney for the legislature William "Bill" Gilkeson gives Exclusive Host Barlow Herget an insider's view of the redistricting process. Gilkeson was one of the "central' or non-partisan staff members who helped legislators draw up the new state and federal legislative districts. He says that the process is underway, and citizens can expect a large shift in state legislative districts from rural North Carolina to metro areas such as the Triangle, the Triad and Charlotte. The fastest growing county between 2000 and 2010 was Union County. Gilkeson says the congressional district that is most out of compliance with new population numbers is Rep. Sue Myrick, R-Charlotte followed by Rep. David Price, D-Chapel Hill.
