The Senator Who Kicked a Hornet's Nest

Sen. Trudy Wade, the Republican who engineered the cynical gerrymandering of the Greensboro city council, may have earned her comeuppance next year. We can only hope that the voters, including fair-minded Republicans in Greensboro (if there are any left), teach her a lesson about arrogance.

In the meantime, the Greensboro News&Record is leading the charge with public outrage and a we're-not-going-to-take-this call to action: "Sue 'em, Greensboro" (editorial) and columnist Susan Ladd's "Resist, rally and vote until HB 263 and Wade are defeated."

Teach 'em a lesson, Greensboro.
