Ironic that it would happen as Charles Rangel goes down for bigger ethics violations.
Now why have we not heard of this until now?
And was her name touted Chavez-Thompson, then????
Earle should be in jail for his brazenly political indictment of Tom DeLay.
so the Governor and Lt Governor can be elected from different parties in TX?
interesting
will Perry win this thing? I hear White could be formidable opponent and that Perry is “weak” though i dont live in TX. Dems seem to think White has a good shot of winning the seat
If Kay Bailey Hutchison hadn’t tried to unseat Governor Perry, this would have been the high point of her day. Earle indicted her in 1993 for using state telephones for political purposes. Her defense attorney was able to maneuver in such a way as to force Ronnie Earl to withdraw the indictments. Earl had a very low rate of convictions on indictments of politicians. Notice Tom Delay still hasn’t been even indicted on anything. I really think the local Travis county DA should not have jurisdiction over state officials. Such cases should be handled by the state attorney general.
White is going to have a tough time I feel, as the majority of Texans I’ve talked to do not really seem to feel that the City of Houston is culturally a part of Texas. (more like some big Northeastern city or third-world country in their opinion)
Ronnie Earl, it took him numerous Grand Juries to obtain an indictment against Tom Delay.
