Legislative Black Caucus Chair Opposes Redistricting Session
By Byron LaMasters
This press release was released today from the office of State Rep. Joe Deshotel (D-Beaumont). Deshotel is the chair of the Texas Legislative Black Caucus.
Redistricting was decided two years ago. Texas newspapers, its voters – even the Republican leadership itself – believed a decision was reached fairly through the courts – an impartial and neutral institution. This upcoming $2 million meeting is a partisan and divisive attack on Texas. There is no emergency. There is no compelling reason to redistrict except that partisan politicians in Washington, DC, demand an outcome to their liking.
