Poster: Runfellow Posted: 2012/5/5 0:34:55 If that's really important to you (and I'm not being sarcastic when I say I understand why), I have - to quote one of the great lyricisits of our time - "stuff" that'll shock your eyelids. Ten of Rep. Myra Crownover's top 15 donors from 7/1/2011 to 12/31/2011 were PACs outside Denton County, and she has accepted over $80,000 in PAC money from outside Denton County since reelection in 2010. Here's a map to see where it's coming from. He isn't even in a contested race, but Tan Parker's biggest individual donor during the last reporting period ($5000) was from Irving. His biggest corporate donor (Cardiovascular Specialists PA, also at $5000) is in Lewisville, but it's currently located in District 65. Heck, even Burt Solomons, who announced his retirement in November, still accepted $4,500 in out of state PAC money that very month. Of course, the Denton County GOP itself has accepted more than $60,000 in corporate funds since February 2010. I don't mind a principled stand on this issue, but I hope you apply it to every campaign. If this really bothers you, you shouldn't support any other Denton GOP candidates. -BC P.S. Fallon's registration date in Denton county was effective as of 10/9/2011. |
