3. A segment of the story |
|
Link didn't work at first for me, either, so here's the opening paragraphs.
Gov. Rick Perry on Monday offered sparsely populated West Texas a new congressional district to help settle a fight between Republicans in that region, only to anger or confuse several Senate Republicans.
The governor's partial map left the eastern half of the state blank and several Senate Republicans disturbed because they think the governor's solution to the West Texas squabble could steal a seat in Congress from the more populous regions of the state, including Central Texas.
The governor's partial map underscores the problem of rearranging the state's 32 congressional districts: Satisfying one region causes a ripple that affects other parts of the state. By leaving part of his map blank, the governor avoided the need to identify which region would lose a congressional seat. <more>

4. He did exactly what KKKarl Rove told him to do. |

You can't lose if you do what they say. They had to change the Tx Senate rules to get this shit passed after they failed 3 times in regular sessions. Majority only instead of 10 year Tx Senate rule to require 2/3 majority. These guys suck.................Really.
