Rep. Banks says that Rep. Denny told him that the districts could not be changed after Banks saw them last. Denny denies saying that.
Rep. Banks disagrees with Denny's frequent statement that Hinds County lost 22,000 residents since 2000. Banks says Hinds has lost only 2% of its population. Some research reveals that Banks is correct: According the US Census Bureau, the 2000 population of Hinds County was 250,800. The 2010 population is 245,285. This is a decline of 2%.
So a loss of 5,000 people means a loss of a seat for Hinds County? That's BS and Denny knows it.
