Getting closer ??? ...

House, Senate agree on redistricting map

Excerpt:

AUSTIN – After nearly six months of partisan wrangling, exhausted House and Senate negotiators finally reached an agreement Wednesday on redrawing congressional boundaries, according to negotiators.

The breakthrough came Wednesday afternoon following the personal intervention by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay when lawmakers settled the nettlesome question of how to remap West Texas.

According to a person involved in the negotiations, the resolution followed a closed-door meeting among Republican senators at which it was made clear to Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, that the map finally agreed upon was the best the Senate could get.

Formal announcement of the deal was expected later Wednesday.

The new plan could net Republicans an additional six or seven seats among the state’s 31-member congressional delegation.

SEVEN? I was hoping for six, willing to settle for five. Woo Hoo.
