Politicians - Texas ethics
Something seem wrong here?...
In the Houston Chronicle, Lisa Sandberg reports:
"AUSTIN — A Texas official who receives any sum of cash as a gift can satisfy state disclosure laws by reporting the money simply as 'currency,' without specifying the amount, the Texas Ethics Commission reiterated Monday."
"The 5-3 decision outraged watchdog groups and some officials who unabashedly accused the commission of failing to enforce state campaign finance laws."
