Greg Abbott has it right:

2005, 2009, 2013, 2017, 2021, 2023, 2025, 2029, etc.

I'll leave it to others to decide '03. I waver between the ridiculousness of
changing election rules in mid-stream versus the ridiculousness of using
1990 numbers to govern districts through Jan. '06.

By the way, if the Charter Commission doesn't do the right thing for the
future, people (well, at least a broader array of insiders) should pay more
attention to the Charter Commission. This isn't the legislature or the
United Nations, folks; this is home. We had regime change in '01, and if you
don't like the result, well, at least voters proved it could be done once.
What's past is not inevitable, and local pols are less immune to public
pressure - if you can direct it effectively, and not just into the wind or
websites.
