Spending Campaign Cash: Commissioner Radack on the Houston Texans

Maybe one day Judge Emmett will call for ethics reform requiring all financial campaign reports to be filed electronically to make perusal on spending habits easier. Until then, it requires time, patience, and a printer full of paper. Besides buying $1000 worth of toilet plungers for the 2008 elections to show his support for McCain (crappy choice), consider this little gem about Commissioner Steve Radack:

From his recent reports, Radack has an interest in the Houston Texans. On May 4 2010 Radack paid $3842.00 on "Tickets for events" to Houston NFL Holdings. According to the google:

Houston NFL Holdings owns and operates the Houston Texans professional football team, which entered the National Football League as an expansion franchise in 2002. 

And on 7/20/2009 he spent another $7564.50 on the Texans for "Houston Texans football tickets".  At least he is honest about the expenditure. And on 4/22/2009 he spent $840.50. And yet another $3952.50 on 4/20/2008 for a total of $16,199.50.

Tickets for the Texans are relatively expensive costing at least $75 for a semi-decent seat. It must be nice to have free money to watch them play every other Sunday. Now if only they will start winning. Until then, maybe Radack should show his support by taking a plunger with him.
