State Rep. Joe Driver's double-dipping on travel reimbursements is such a lapse in ethics and judgment that it's impossible to recommend him for re-election from Garland-based House District 113.
Driver, a teabagger, has already admitted the mistake, has claimed to have refunded his campaign, and has asked for forgiveness. For any other teabagger admitting to stealing would land you in jail, and pleading for forgiveness would be done in front of a judge.
No place but the Texas House can you steal from the tax payers, pay it back with a hefty apology, and get away with a slap on the hand. Unfortunately, the Dallas Morning News didn't accept it.
Good for them.

Cool, get caught and refund the money to yourself not the state and it is ok
ABSOLUTELY!
This is going to be his excuse. "I didn't steal from the government. I stole from my campaign".
Stealing from your campaign gets you a slap on the wrist by the Ethics commission. They would require that he refund the last 2 years only and hit him with a $1000 fine. Unlucky for Driver, the Ethics Commission is not investigating him.
The DA is. The DA doesn't put up with this crap.
