Redistricting: 10 reasons this special session is a bad idea (Dallas, Tx)

[DemoTex]

Editorial from the very conservative Dallas Morning News (7/29):

Here are the top 10 reasons why Gov. Rick Perry shouldn't have called another special legislative session on redistricting.

1) Texas has more pressing problems.

2) It makes a mess of Texas (to slightly distort a popular campaign slogan).

3) $1.7 million is $1.7 million.

4) Keep Washington in Washington. Tom DeLay may love Congress' partisan brawls. But the governor shouldn't have let the GOP congressional heavyweight, who is pushing Austin for new lines, inflict them on Texas. Arrest the man if he gets near the Capitol.

1. Quick--somebody deputize Jim Hightower!

Let him arrest Delay--now, THAT's one I'd PAY to be present to see! :D

For that matter, he could serve papers on Craddick and Rick Perry, too! :eyes:
