St. Louis Congressman Lacy Clay's resdistricting plan meets criticism in the state capitol.
Cara Karunaratne has more from Jefferson City.
Clay submitted HIS ideal proposal for Congressional redistricting.
His plan takes a large number of black voters away from House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt's district.
That could hurt Gephardt's chances for reelection.
St. Louis Senator John Scott says he won't support a redistricting plan that endangers Gephardt's seat in the House.
Scott and other lawmakers have to approve a redistricting plan by mid-May.
