ZANESVILLE — State Sen. Troy Balderson, R-Zanesville, will continue to represent all of Muskingum County, providing he runs for re-election and wins in 2012.

He also will represent Lancaster — the hometown of State Sen. Tim Schaffer, who no longer will represent his home county after his fellow Republicans swapped districts and moved borders of Ohio’s new legislative districts Friday.

The state’s Apportionment Board approved changes to several districts after lawmakers approached them with concerns about original maps released Sept. 23., said State Rep. Jay Hottinger, R-Newark. Those maps placed Muskingum County in Schaffer districts.
