UPDATE & ERRATA: Kudos to someone who has served the State of Georgia with honor & distinction. - Reapportionment Office Director Linda Meggers.

Yesterday I did a post praising one Linda Meggers. I erred in assuming this great public servant had retired. I assumed as much, something not safe with the Czar and his Hawks running the Capitol. Forget our Bubba Governor. The Czar may fire him before this thing is over.

The 01-31-05 PI reports the following:

Another one bites the dust: Woman in charge of drawing lines told to clean out her desk

"The elimination of Democratic institutional memory at the state Capitol continues.

"Linda Meggers, who has been in charge of the state's reapportionment office, was handed her walking papers Friday."

"One of her assistants in the reapportionment office will step in as temporary director.

"Meggers' ouster and the resulting turmoil won't make it impossible to take up congressional redistricting this session

"But it will make it harder."

I didn't report as much, but Senate Resolution 55 commending Linda Meggers is in the "Senate Hopper." This might be as far as it gets.

Although they might otherwise be inclined to let it come to a Senate vote, if Sen. Eric Johnson, President Pro Tempore or Sen.Bill Stephens, Majority Leader, allow this, House Speaker Glenn Richardson might take them to the woodshed.
