I was a big critic of the majority when they did this phony redistricting map, this very partisan redistricting map that tears apart traditional communities out there. And They wasted millions of dollars paying corporate, or I shouldn't say corporate, but lawyers out there, five, six hundred dollars an hour for a very bad map that is very partisan. We could have done that in House. A fair map for nothing with the people we have. So I introduced, I shouldn't say introduced. (25:08–25:20)
