Republican House Speaker Tom Craddick ordered state law officers to find and arrest them, but they had crossed the state line and were out of reach of Texas troopers. Several of those Democrats — who became known among supporters as the “Killer D’s” — said they will continue to fight redistricting but said they are looking to the Senate Democrats to block the bill in the special session. “They are good and strong people — they’ve got back bone,” Coleman said. Republicans hold a 19-12 edge in the Senate, but under the chamber’s rules two-thirds of its 31 members must agree to bring an issue to the floor for debate. That means the redistricting bill could be killed with 11 votes. “If it’s a good bill, it’s a fair bill, meaning it maximizes the majority-minority districts, it represents the voting trends of the state, it’s generally fair, I think there’ll be 21 votes for it,” said Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who presides over the Senate. While partisan sniping got going in the House soon ate Craddick gaveled the session to order — at one point, Redistricting Committee Chairman Joe Crabb, R- Atascocita, was accused bj Democrats of not holding prop er hearings — the tone was more civil in the Senate. Some senators said they were still weighing the matter. “I’ve not made up my mini I’m praying on the issue,”said Sen. Frank Madia, D-Sao Antonio, who said he was in church at 7:30 a.m. Monday Madia said he is interested in what happens to districts affect ing Bexar County, South Texat and West Texas. Sen. Ken Armbrister, D- Victoria, said the original House plan was unacceptable and tbai he was filing his own redistrict- ing bill. “I’ve got an open mind to it. I’m going to look at ratal Texas,” he said. Sen. Eddie Lucio, D- Brownsville, said the Senate may be close to having the votes for a redistricting plan. Mideast Continued from page 1 government will do its best to prevent such attacks in the future.” Three hours later, Palestinians opened Fire on workers building a security fence near the West Bank town of Qalqiliya, the military said. Soldiers returned fire, but no one was hurt. Despite the violence, Israeli and Palestinian officials remained upbeat about prospects for further advances under the “road map” peace plan launched by President Bush at a June 4 Mideast summit. The plan leads through three stages to a Palestinian state in 2005. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon declined to criticize his Palestinian counterpart, Mahmoud Abbas, after the shootings, noting that security responsibility was handed over to the Palestinian Authority iu the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun only on Monday morning. “Even if the Palestinians were the fastest in the world, and tbe most determined, you can! expect them to destroy terrorism in a moment,” he told members of his Likud parliamentaiy cau cus. In the past, Sharon has made strident demands on tbe Palestinians to crack down imme diately on militants. Sharon planned to meet wi Abbas in Jerusalem on Tuesday to discuss the way forward. Security measures to be taken by both sides were expected to Figure prominently in the talks, along with Palestinian demand' for the release of political prison ers and further Israeli wi drawals from territory reoccupitJ since the start of fighting ii September 2000. won’t \f wfiv n2v more fd why pay more for less? compefifiYe a rent matctongi ask about our M A guarantee! built w 200 2 tour the new iiltafe collegiate apt and discover now ■ cutting-edge design ideas cem personalize your apartment! free tanning fjerf! i better than new! freehigh-speetf itellite TV! www.crossingplace.cpnt 979-680-8475 pets accepted with limits! ;pj internet and free premium tees msits apartments for students 400 Southwest Parkway • College Station, IX 77840 rApplicable only to Sterling University, Melrose, University Commons, Aggie Station, The Zone, Campus Lodge, The Exchange and The Tradition, excluding short-term specials.
