Harris County Commissioner Jerry Eversol's $63,000 question

I blogged about Eversole's indictment a few days ago, but I want to emphasize why I think Eversole is in trouble. Let me recap one of the  many allegations against him and his long time buddy Mr Surface.

March 6, 2003. Surface wrote a check for $65,000 from his personal account to Weston Lakes LP a partnership Surface and his partners created.

March 24, 2003. Surface caused a check for $65,000  to be written from WLP to Keystone.

March 24, 2003. On the same day, Surface caused Keystone to issue a cashier's check to Surface.

March 24, 2003. Surface used this cashier's check to purchase another cashier's check payable to Eversole for $63,000.

March 25, 2003. Eversole deposited the $63,000 check into one of his personal accounts.

March 25, 2003 Eversole takes out a loan for land to build a new home.

March 27, 2003. Eversole was obligated to pay off his lot loan in full on or before March 27, 2003 for $62, 594.

Now is that strange or what? From Surface to WLP to Keystone, back to Surface to Eversole to the bank. You have to wonder why Surface just didn't write a personal check to Eversole instead of playng hide the baloney.
