The Daily Digest (Lawmakers react to new political boundaries, Dayton sets bridge deadline, No deal on stadium)

The court appointed panel dropped the new maps for the U.S. House and the Minnesota Legislature.

The court paired DFL Rep. Betty McCollum and GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann but Bachmann quickly announced she's moving to the 6th (which includes the bulk of her current district).

There weren't many other dramatic changes. The 6th and the 3rd got more Republican. The 2nd got more Democratic (but is still leaning GOP). The 4th got more Republican (but is still heavy DFL). The 5th picked up even more Democrats. The 1st, 7th and 8th didn't change too much.
