Roger Williams is an old used car salesmen. If you ever met him, you would have no doubt about that. He did something back when he was State Treasurer (Gov. Perry appointment) that was an embarrassment and ticked off conservatives (I can’t quite remember what), which forced him to resign. If any other Texas FReepers remember what it was, please pipe up.
I just remembered. Roger Williams wasn’t the State Treasurer, rather he was the Texas Secretary of State. And on his watch, there was a big problem with the computerized voter registration system which the contractor was very late and over budget and had numerous technical problems with. I think it was back in 2002 or so.
