Despite the law, statewide office holders dole out jobs to those with political ties (George P Bush)

At first glance, Hector Valle would seem like an odd fit for the state agency that oversees all public land in Texas.

When the 37-year-old applied to join the Texas General Land Office last October, saying he wanted to be the agency's "special counsel" - a job that did not exist - his only work experience was as a Dallas anti-gang prosecutor.

Valle had a special qualification, however: He had gone to law school with George P. Bush, the front-runner in what was then an upcoming election for land commissioner.

Two weeks later, Bush won. Six days after that, Valle was on the payroll, making an annual salary of $115,000.

Valle, who recently became a volunteer fundraising "bundler" for the presidential campaign of Bush's father, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, is among scores of political aides, campaign workers and friends of statewide elected officials who have been brought into Texas government over the past year without facing any public competition for their jobs, a Houston Chronicle examination has found.

The Bush family considers the United States of America nothing more than a family resource.

Now we have young George Pee to follow in the tradition.

Can’t be true. No one in “Bring it on!” Bush’s family would ever do something shady.

Miller has given his unposted hires the highest salaries, with an average of about $150,000, largely due to his creation of four new "appointed" assistant agriculture commissioner positions, each paying $180,000 per year.

That $115k he's making, for a made up position just for him, should be coming out of Georgie's salary!
