Hey DU.. why not tell Governor Good Hair about this?


No excuse for no district election


By Heber Taylor
The Daily News

Published August 29, 2006 - Updated 51 minutes ago

Gov. Rick Perry should call a special election to fill the unexpired representative term in the 22nd Congressional District.

There’s some urgency to this request. The deadline for calling a special election is today.

The district has been without a congressman since June, when former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay resigned in the middle of a scandal.

On Nov. 7, voters will decide which candidate will assume the seat when Congress convenes in January.

They may as well decide — at the same time — who will represent the district until then.
