Travis County prosecutors say in a court filing that state Rep. Dawnna Dukes spent more than $51,000 on an online psychic, appeared for work at the Capitol impaired and hid a cellphone from investigators.
The filing this week was provided by prosecutors ahead of her Oct. 16 misdemeanor corruption trial and is meant to inform Dukes' attorneys of the allegations prosecutors will assert during the trial.
The Austin Democrat is accused of giving a taxpayer-funded raise to a legislative aide to cover gas money for shuttling Dukes' daughter back and forth from school.
The Austin American-Statesman reports that prosecutors still want to present a felony case against the lawmaker, alleging that she falsified reimbursement vouchers.
Dukes' attorney, Dane Ball, declined to comment on this week's court filing.
Didn’t Dionne Warwick and her friends tell her how this would all turn out?
I bet she didn’t see that coming!.................

The purpose of the Democrat Party is to elect thieves to public office so that they have access to the public treasuries in order to loot them.

Here's the sap-happy Democrat blithely "aiding and abetting" the theft of US-govt issue equipment.
"Oh, it's just a measly 120,000 tax dollars.....just write it off."
Cong Yvette Clarke describes herself as a "Caribbean-American."
At least a man would have blown the money on something substantial, like coke and hookers.
Google her name and click on “images”...
She has some real issues....
Dukes insisted Hillary sent her an email and advised her that her staff's work was neither illegal nor improper.
She simply took advantage of black privilege.
Getting legal advice from Hilliary Clinton is like getting shopping tips from Wynona Ryder.................

Misuse of $51,000 is only a misdemeanor?
