Perry Fined $1,500 by Ethics Commission

Gov. Rick Perry was fined $1,500 by the Texas Ethics Commission for failing to report rental income from a house in College Station, and for filing incomplete information regarding debts on the same property, in personal financial statements required by state law.

Perry did not, as the law requires, report income in excess of $500 from rent. According to the Ethics Commission, the total undisclosed income from 2009 and 2010 was between $7,000 and $29,995. Perry also did not disclose all of the debts and the names of banks holding notes and leases on the property.


Oh I wonder what corporation or fat cat Perry donor is picking up the measly fine for Perry on this one. Pocket change for Bob Perry for example.

The real crimes are what other back room deals and quid pro quos he's not reporting.

of the Capital with the "Morals" right before GWB was put in office. I think the "Corruptions" and "Complacency" moved in when they left.
