The next step would be an indictment from a Grand Jury. Leaks to the media if a case is being brought to them should be expected.
Joe Driver
Prior to the election Driver was outed by Jay Root of the Associated Press.
Root identified $17,000+ of travel related expenses that were paid by
his campaign and also by the Comptroller's Office. Driver pocketed this
"free money".Later it was noted that Driver received $40,000 from the Comptroller's Office for mileage, for a car he does not own. Driver has since stated he has reimbursed his campaign (not the tax payers) $49,426 which has not been seen on his reports as of yet.
UPDATE: As expected, according to ethics reports, there is no indication that Joe Driver reimbursed his campaign as he stated.
Linda Harper Brown-Benz
State Rep Harper-Brown was provided a Mercedes, complete with State provided licenses plates, by a company receiving benefits from her votes in the Transportation Committee in Austin. How can anyone not think this smells to high heaven of bribery?To make matters worse, she then claimed $13,000 in mileage for the use of her personal vehicle from the State for a vehicle she didn't own. This is something Driver is getting driven on. According to recent ethics reports, Brown has accepted a $15,000 loan from her husband and has a total of $50,000 in outstanding loans with just $5000 cash on hand.
