Another Session?
By Byron LaMasters
Well, as I suggested earlier, it looks as if Rick Perry would have no problem calling a second special session to address redistricting. The Austin American Statesman reports:
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said Tuesday that he expects Gov. Rick Perry will call another special legislative session to address congressional redistricting if a plan is not approved this session.
Perry, speaking to reporters earlier, would not confirm that he would call lawmakers back to the Capitol to redraw congressional districts if they fail to adopt a plan, but he left the option open.
"Oh, I never rule it out," Perry said.
Dewhurst, who presides over the Senate, said Perry told him he would call another session but Dewhurst also said he believes lawmakers should solve the issue now.

WTF? how much of our money is perry going to waste trying to pander to tom delay?
*arg*
thanks for the heads-up, byron.
The Republicans are willing to tear apart the state of Texas and alienate millions to achieve their objective. We've seen Perry and Craddick roll over for Delay--and now possibly Dewhurst. Three Republipuppets who have no Texas pride. I salute Ratliff for standing up to the party line for the sake of his constituents. Maybe we could start a Meetup Texaswide to oppose a second session if that comes to pass?
