Senate
Continued from page 1
voting trends show
Republicans should have more
representation in the Texas
congressional delegation.
Despite the committee’s
approval, it appeared the bill was
headed for failure this session.
Eleven Senate Democrats and
one Republican have said they
are opposed to taking up redis
tricting. Under Senate rules, two-
thirds of the chamber, or 21 sena
tors, must support a bill for it to
be debated. Opposition from 11
senators is enough to kill the bill
in the 31-member chamber, and
Republican Lt. Gov. David
Dewhurst said he would leave
that rule in place this session.
However, Republican Gov.
Rick Perry is widely expected to
call a second special legislative
session on redistricting if a bill
does not get approved by
Tuesday, when this session ends.
If Perry does that, Dewhurst
said he will do away with the
two-thirds rule so that only a
majority of senators would have
to support the bill for it to get a
debate on the floor.
Democrats say they are
weighing their options, including
boycotting the Senate, under that
scenario.
Republicans tried to push
redistricting during the regular
legislative session but House
Democrats fled the state in May.
That move broke a quorum in the
chamber and killed the redistrict
ing bill.
The map the committee
approved keeps the Central Texas
counties of Bell, Coryell and
McLennan in one district; splits
Webb County along the Texas-
Mexico border into two districts;
and divides Travis County into
three districts.
One district starts in Travis
County and winds its way south
to Hidalgo County along the bor
der. Another district, currently
represented by Rep. Lloyd
Doggett, D-Austin, starts in
Travis County and heads east into
Harris County.
Another Central Texas district
starts in Bastrop County, snakes
its way east to Aransas County
and then makes it way south to
Cameron County, also along the
border.
The map also groups Victoria
County into a district that
includes Brazoria and Galveston
Counties as well as part of Harris
County.
Under the map. Rep. Martin
Frost, D-Arlington, could likely
lose his seat if he seeks re-elec
tion because he would be pitted
against Republican Rep. Joe
Barton of Ennis and the proposed
district is majority Republican.
“It is an illegal map that vio
lates the Voting Rights Act and
disenfranchises independent rural
voters, especially in East and
Central Texas, and it’s the result

NEWS IN BRIEF
Two women dead, one injured
in San Antonio office shooting
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A man who authorities
believe fatally shot two women and critically
wounded another in a San Antonio real estate office
Wednesday later killed himself during a pursuit near
Temple, police said.
The man, who still hasn't been identified by
police, was fleeing from officers in a black Ford
Explorer when he shot himself, San Antonio Police
Sgt. Gabe Trevino said. The vehicle ended up in a
field.
'The license plate matches the vehicle that we
were looking for," he said. "The description of the
suspect also matches the description of the suspect
we were looking for."
Trevino wouldn't release any of the names of
those involved, but said all worked at a Century 21
real estate office in northeast San Antonio near
Interstate 35.
"He walked in, approached these three employ
ees, shot them, then ran," Trevino said. He said the
victims were shot multiple times, but he couldn't
say how many.
The wounded woman was taken by helicopter to
University Hospital with a single gunshot wound.
"She's very critical," said Leni Kirkman, a hospili'
spokeswoman. "She's undergoing tests to deter
mine the best course of treatment."
Relatives of the women were at the hospital H
help identify the bodies, Kirkman said.
House rejects FCC media rules
WASHINGTON (AP) - House lawmakers vote!
Wednesday to block a new regulation

stations reaching nearly half the nation's viewers
The provision, included in a spending til
approved 400-21, would roll back part
Federal Communications Commission de
overhauling decades-old restrictions
ownership of newspapers and television
radio stations. That June 2 ruling by
Republican-dominated FCC was a victory Ini
media companies who sought relaxed rules.
Opponents are urging Congress to roll back a!
the changes, but the House measure o
addresses TV station ownership.
The FCC voted to allow single companies
own TV stations reaching 45 percent of US
households. The House measure would n
the cap to 35 percent. The fight now movesto
the Senate.
