Thursday, December 20, 2001 Green Bay Press-Gazette Congressman an says remap won't make him leave Janesville The Associated Press JANESVILLE The upcoming change in boundaries of Wisconsin's congressional districts could move Rep. Paul Ryan's Janesville address out of his district. But Ryan says he won't move from his home city to stay in the 1st District, as some have suggested. "My Waterloo is obviously Janesville. I'm not moving," he said.
Ryan, a Republican, has represented the 1st District since winning election in 1998. Redistricting proposals now in the works are aimed at equalizing the populations of the state's various districts based on the 2000 Census. Wisconsin will have eight districts instead of nine, with one of Milwaukee's districts being split up, because of the state's relatively slow population growth compared with OBITUARIES AND FUNERALS Asher, Hilda M.
