Since we mainly compete in IL, MI, and WI, seeing that the map has IL along with neither of those makes me think my region wouldn't really represent my concerns, if it were passed as the divisional map shows. I can't speak for downstate folks in IL, but for those near the Chicago area, I think most would agree that our representation should be the same as for the rest of the Great Lakes States
I like the idea of having more localized representation though, but as others have said, this has been bandied about for years and has never happened.
