Gallot called it correctly
 (Editor's Note: This column was first published the week of May 17, 2010. It is being reprinted since the Legislature convened a special session Sunday to deal with redistricting in light of the 2010 Census.)
Rep. Rick Gallot of Grambling hit the nail on the head when he opined recently that creating super black and super white legislative districts was a "horrible idea."
Gallot's comment surfaced in a newspaper column over the weekend. The column touched on an ongoing flair-up between Gallot and House Speaker Jim Tucker. Though they're supposed to be allies, it seems some bad blood exists between Gallot and Tucker in light of Tucker removing two Democrats from House and Governmental Affairs Committee (HGA), which Gallot chairs.
Gallot is a Democrat. Tucker is a Republican, who, as Speaker of the House, has the authority to assign or remove members to or from any House committee. He carries a big stick.
