SPECIAL SESSION: Dallas Democratic Senator Royce West told a reporter from the Statesman on Thursday , "i think a special session is pretty much certain... the reason is that the attorney general wants the legislature to approve the maps the courts have drawn for redistricting. there are a number of people (democrats) who won't vote for that. (the republicans) don't have the votes to get it through in the regular session, but they can push it through during a special session."
