From the San Angelo Standard Times
If redistricting weren’t so serious, it would be funny.
As Forrest Gump’s mama says about life in the 1994 movie, “It’s like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.”
Most folks don’t know, or care, about legislative and congressional redistricting, to be done in the legislative session beginning in January, by the legislators mostly chosen in this year’s election.
Don’t care, that is, until they see a relatively compact Austin-based congressional district split into three — one reaching to Houston, one to South Texas, and one to San Antonio and West Texas.
