Democrats upset over approval
Senate OKs redistricting bill
United Press International
AUSTIN — The Senate voted
18-13 Monday to accept the
House version of a congressional
redistricting bill that had been the
major issue in both the regular and
special legislative sessions, send
ing the measure to the governor
well ahead of today’s midnight
deadline.
Opponents of the redistricting
plan say it could give Republicans
as many as nine of the state’s 27
congressional seats, including at
least one now held by a Democrat.
“It’s perfectly obvious what
happened here, we in the Demo
cratic party, the majority party,
have allowed ourselves to be mis
guided by the minority party, the
Republican party,’’said Sen.
Oscar Mauzy, D-Dallas.
Mauzy and Sen. Lloyd Dog-
gett, D-Austin, said Speaker Bill
Clayton had “cast his lot with the
Republican party” to allow the bill
to pass. Earlier in the day, Clayton
had blocked an abortive attempt
to reopen redistricting negotia
tions and send the issue to confer
ence committee in an attempt to
return the version of the bill pas
sed earlier by the Senate.
Liberal Democrats offered to
refrain from filibustering in ex
change for the opportunity to send
the bill to conference committee,
but Clayton refused to go along
and forced the Senate to vote to
either accept or to reject the
House version of the plan.
Sen. Peyton McKnight, D-
Tyler, argued the House should
be given a chance to rescind its
action on the bill it passed in the
predawn hours Sunday.
“I think the House took a sorry
bill and ruined it, ” McKnight said.
Sen. John Wilson, D-La
Grange, who drafted the bill pas
sed earlier by the Senate and sup
ports the House changes, claimed
he had sufficient support to send
the bill to the governor.
“I think we’ve got 18 votes to
concur plus a couple of maybes,”
Wilson said Sunday after conduct
ing an informal poll of Senate
members.
Speaker Bill Clayton, who
drafted the major House changes
in the redistricting bill, contends
it would give Democrats 20 of the
27 congressional seats, increase
the number held by Republicans
from five to six, and create one
“swing” district in Houston that
would be almost evenly divided
between Republicans and Demo
crats.
Wilson said he has found little
significant difference in the House
plan and the one he pushed
through the Senate earlier.
“If there is any big difference
I’d sure like for somebody to show
it to me,” he said.
With today’s midnight adjourn
ment of the special session
approaching, Wilson acknow
ledged that liberals might try to
filibuster against his bill and kill it
in the final hours of the session.
“I think there are some people
who might want to talk for a
while,” he said. “But it’ll be 39 or
40 hours until the end of the ses
sion, and I don’t think anybody
wants to talk quite that long.”
Both houses met Sunday, deal
ing primarily with non-
controversial items although the
Senate did tentatively approve a
proposed constitutional amend
ment providing a three cent per
$100 valuation state property tax
to fund construction at state col
leges outside the University of
Texas and Texas A&M University
systems.
House members refused to sus
pend rules to permit considera
tion Sunday of legislation to legal
ize Bingo games run by charitable
organizations.
Texas voters last year approved
a constitutional amendment au
thorizing the local option Bingo
games, but lawmakers have been
unable to agree on legislation reg
ulating the games.
