House Split on Congressional Redistricting
Plans
By Jeff Packham, Staff Writer
(GIT) Hours after
failing to pass the Senate's Congressional Redistricting plan, the House
approved a compromised version of a House plan Thursday.
The House plan was passed after the
Senate's version had failed earlier in the day. SB 1683, by Sen. Stratton
Taylor, D-Claremore, and Rep. Loyd Benson, D-Frederick, divides the state into
five Congressional districts, provides an operational date for the districts
and for conducting elections. The bill also repeals current Congressional
districts.
The Senate version failed by a 48-53
vote. Although the bill was voted mostly down party lines, four Democrats representing
Oklahoma City and western Oklahoma voted against the bill, which provided the
difference causing the bill to fail to garner enough votes.
Reps. Jack Bonny, D-Burns Flat; James
Covey, D-Custer City; William Paulk, D-Oklahoma City; and Clay Pope, D-Loyal,
all voted against the Senate's version of the bill.
Benson said the Senate plan was as good
as any the House was going to be presented with, and encouraged his fellow
members to pass the bill.
"If we don't vote on some plan we
are [ignoring] our responsibility as a legislative body," Benson said.
"There's going to be winners and losers in each of these plans."
A possible compromise was put together
and presented in the afternoon, but the bill barely received enough votes to
move to the Senate. Floor substitute for HB 1479, by Rep. Larry Adair,
D-Stilwell, and Taylor, divides the state into five Congressional districts and
repeals current Congressional districts.
Passing by a vote of 51-50, the bill
squeezed by despite some defections on both sides of the aisle. Reps. Ron Langmacher,
D-Carnegie; Paulk; and Purcy Walker, D-Elk City; voted against the bill, but
votes in favor of the measure from Reps. Wayne Pettigrew, R-Edmond, and Chris
Hastings, R-Tulsa, carried it over to the Senate.
Benson said the measure had no incumbents
facing each other, something that differed from the Senate version.
"It does everything the courts say
we must do," Benson said.
The House version had Districts One and
Two sharing areas in Tulsa, while the Oklahoma City metro area was shared by
Districts Three, Four and Five (maps available on LIN under the category
"GIT Buzz"). District Three, which represents southeastern Oklahoma,
moves into north Oklahoma City and actually extends into Warr Acres, the home
for U.S. Rep. Ernest Istook.
The Senate will likely take up the
measure Friday. Governor Frank Keating, however, announced that he would veto
the plan that passed the House.
"This bill violates the key concept
behind responsible redistricting, protecting communities of interest,"
Keating said. "The needs of rural southeastern Oklahoma are far different
from those of Oklahoma City. Putting them in the same congressional district is
detrimental for residents of both areas."
Keating said Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk
Humphreys also indicated that the House compromised version was not a bill that
would benefit Oklahoma City, and he encouraged Keating to veto the bill as
well.
