KHOU (Channel 11) has received a Peabody Award from the University of Georgia for a two-year series of stories and a documentary broadcast last summer about abuses within the Texas National Guard.
Reporter Mark Greenblatt, producer David Raziq and photojournalist Keith Tomshe of the Belo Corp.-owned station were honored for the series Under Fire: Discrimination and Corruption in the Texas National Guard.
It is a very good report (link below) which resulted in the removal of the Commander of Ellington AFB, Col. Lanny McNeely, and the Commander of the Texas National Guard for sex discrimination. What started as an investigation into discrimination at Ellington turned into an investigation of the Commander of the Guard for charging the Government twice for services provided. He too was removed from office and was required to repay the money *$62,000(, but no criminal charges were filed.
Wow! Just like Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversole! Eversole used his donors money for personal use ($180,000), was caught, and had to repay the amount to his campaign. Nothing else happened. No criminal charges were filed for theft.From TXCN.com:

Generals John Furlow, General Alan Dehnert, and Adjutant General Charles Rodriguez, are all alleged to have wrongfully taken paychecks from two different government agencies for work done at the same time.
