Rick rides the wave
Texas Gov. Rick Perry raised a record $22 million for the Republican
Governors Association (RGA) this year, $4 million of that from Texans. The trouble is, Texas law prohibits state elected officials from accepting campaign contributions during the legislative session. Perry wasn’t collecting for himself, but he did hit up some of the same people who contributed to his personal campaign. And the RGA, in turn, has supported his campaigns. This raises the question of whether Perry was exploiting a loophole by soliciting money from Texans with stakes in the legislative business – exactly the thing the law was meant to stop. http://www.chron.com/news/houston-te...ws-2140172.php |
