Liveblogging The Special Session (2006 5th) II
Now I’ve abandoned the languid pace of the Senate for the House, where they are organized enough to have started discussion and the traditional seating respects the history and traditions of Western Civilization.
So far they’re proposing some redistricting principles and then rumor has it the Senate will adjourn so that the Republicans can decide what to do about redistricting in closed caucus. The House Republicans will probably soon do the same.
Whispers indicate that Senator Waddoups (R-Taylorsville) wants the rest of Taylorsville in the new district and possibly some more of his district, too. Waddoups lost a leadership race in the Senate and may be marginalized by his erstwhile opponent, President Valentine. If a fourth congressional seat opens, Waddoups may want as much chance to take a new job as he can.
Just now the news is that the Senate has convened.
