Smith calls redistricting board limit ridiculous
Gov. Preston Smith labeled the state redistricting panel's plan to study senate redistricting only as ridiculous. He urged the board to prepare for potential upholding or overturning of the lower court decision and to redraw House districts promptly to reflect the 1970 census, citing taxpayer costs and duty to act. The board, formed by the Constitution, is due to meet Aug. 24 to adjust senatorial districts. Attorney General Crawford Martin said the House matter would be discussed then and the appeal of Judge Jones's ruling would proceed to the Texas Supreme Court.
