A controversial bill that would split Asheville into districts for the purpose of electing city council members could be back before the General Assembly. This after a similar bill failed in the last session. That bill, filed by then-Senator Tom Apodaca of Hendersonville, was defeated in its last stop in the House. Now, the Senator who took his place when he retired, Republican Chuck Edwards, has sent an e-mail to Asheville mayor Esther Manheimer announcing his intention to file another bill. WCQS's Jeremy Loeb spoke with Mayor Manheimer about Edwards' email.
