Hypocritical Texas GOP Consultant and SREC Member Has Years of Unpaid Taxes

[TexasTowelie]

Republicans like to preach about fiscal responsibility. However, not all of their consultants like to pay their taxes.

Russ Duerstine is a person few people know about, but his influence within the Republican Party of Texas is strong.

He has prominent roles within the state's party, and is currently representing Senate District 28 for the State Republican Executive Committee and as a member of the Republican Party of Texas' Officials Committee. Duerstine also served as Chairman of the Tom Green County Republican Party until 2012.

As a political consultant, previous clients of Duerstine include Dallas mayor Tom Leppert, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate; Warren Chisum, a candidate for Railroad Commissioner; and Tom Mechler, candidate for RPT Chair.

2. It has Been

My Experience that people who hate government, Abuse the Safety net, and don't pay the tax owed whenever possible. Just as long as only "hard working White People" do this it's ok. I Hate this Provincial attitude.
