On KURV Radio: Redistricting And Its Effects On South Texas



I have been invited to appear on Davis Rankin's Talk Radio program this morning to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court decision to hear the Texas redistricting case. For those in South Texas it is 710 on the AM dial. The show starts at 9:30 a.m.

The latest on redistricting.

Back in the office. Boy, we had good discussion on the the topic of redistricting. We also had great questions on teachers health insurance and the Iraq War. The Iraq War is not a subject we address in the state legislature and the question got me to flesh out a position.

With regards to the increasing demands on state government and how we are going to pay for services. I would advise the public to monitor the special committee headed by former Comptroller John Sharp as to how this state is going to address it's tax structure.

If you demand more services, then someone is going to have to pay for it. Most of us want those taxes to be paid for by someone else. This of course is the question of the moment and would appreciate the public's input on this difficult question.
