There must be a better way to redraw congressional districts than has been the law in North Carolina, and other states, for as long as I can remember … When Democrats were in control, it was bad … today Republicans are in control and nothing has changed … Wonder, just wonder if one party, the party in control, would agree to appoint a bi-partisan committee to redraw the districts … and give up the political advantage … Not likely…
When the Democrats were in charge, Bladen was in a district that ran from the Virginia line, or near the Virginia line … Warren County to just short of the South Carolina line, deep into Columbus County. Rep. Eva Clayton of Warren County was our representative in Washington … Republicans promised better … Their redistricting included Bladen County line nearest Wilmington to Mecklenburg (Charlotte) … later changed to US 701 from near Garland to Columbus County line … and west to Mecklenburg … Just a crazy thought … Don’t expect it to happen … A shot from the cheap seats … I may be a little off lines, but don’t think so…
Sad to know a plane with 8, including students from an eastern North Carolina high school, crashed in the Atlantic, most likely, all killed … Happened over the past weekend…
I think I have been attending too many funerals…
