~9q 75.E Mr. Jim Allison, Allison & Associates, addressed the Court an
the advantages of hiring his .firm for redistricting to make
sure no one district is larger than the others. He said the
preliminary census count shows Kerr County t,as had
considerable growth. The final census count is due in April
and will shave exactly where the growth is the greatest, and
the State Senate and Congress lines will concentrate on the
areas of growth. His firm will make sure the State has an up
to date and correct map so that Kerr County will get the full
benefits from the State.
Mr. Allisan told the Court to keep in mind any changes of
,,.e.. boundary lines must be submitted to the Justice Department.
"they view the changes for sixty (60) days, with no changes
taking place, and if they need additional infor~matior, it will
take up to another sixty (60) days. The Court needs to take
into consideration a possible one hundred twenty days (1L0)
delay before they car, make the changes. The process should
have been started a couple of months ago. In conclusion Mr.
Allisan cautioned the Gourt to make sure that which ever firm
they choose has the full packages they might want.
fq~ 7 s•~` Mr. Jahn Knox ask the Court to adapt a point resolution in
support of Sovereignty. Sovereignty is a nonpartisan, not
for profit organization founded last year. It has two
purposes: (1) to reduce the high and escalating taxes, bott,
income and property, and (1) to fund to a greater degree the
necessary and legitimate needs of our communities and nation.
The needs we refer to are in water/sewer/waste disposal
systems, bridges, roads, the environmental problem,
education, housing, and health care. In summary, they want
less taxes and greater funding.
