AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry today issued the following statement regarding the
release of redistricting maps that will be used in the upcoming primaries:
"While we believe the original maps drawn by the Texas Legislature were fair and legal, I am pleased we
finally have maps that enable us to proceed with our elections.
"As the Supreme Court has agreed, the federal court in San Antonio
overstepped its boundaries when it took it upon itself to draw new maps. Had
the federal court done it correctly to begin with, the time, costs and
inconvenience to our state could have been avoided, and we would be having
our elections on schedule."
