How much did that cost YOU?

An excerpt from the Texas Weekly in 2001 concerning redistricting.  Funny how things change.  Or how they don't...

It's the Fort Worth Way.

Sen. Mike Moncrief, D-Fort Worth, railing in the Austin American-Statesman about redistricting plans that put him in a Republican district with Dee Kelly Jr., son of the well-connected attorney and political player: "Representing almost 700,000 people is serious business. Senate District 12 is not a toy for your boy. You need to earn your stripes, not just purchase your title."
