O’Donnell, J.,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
{¶ 9} I concur in the decision to dismiss relators’ open-meetings claim for declaratory relief, as we lack jurisdiction to entertain that claim.
{¶ 10} I respectfully dissent from the resolution of the constitutional challenge to the decennial apportionment of districts in the manner chosen by the majority, which I find unprecedented in our jurisprudence, unwise, and fraught with problems as precedent for future apportionment challenges. The court’s obligation is to review these matters expeditiously, and it should do so.
