TALLAHASSEE — It may sound like a simple process, but the Florida Senate’s random renumbering of all its districts statewide Tuesday touched off a series of complicated twists that one key lawmaker said only adds more chaos to a continuing redistricting saga.
Among the impacts:
• Pasco County’s chances of having its first ever Florida Senate president improved, when state Sen. Wilton Simpson, R-Trilby, gained an even-numbered district. But a new obstacle emerged when Sen. John Legg, a Republican from Trinity, announced he’s running for the same seat.
