Nope. Nothing inappropriate here. Move along, please. Once again, we see the Texas lege and TXU showing a blatant disregard for the 'appearance of impropriety.' Armbrister and Fraser both accepted passes to the Master's Tournament from TXU. What possible state business could be discussed or enhanced in Georgia at a golf tournament? And, is truancy really a good example to set for the children of Texas? We'll need a note from both of your mothers pronto or you're in detention.
The senators missed Thursday's Senate session during which members approved seven substantive proposals on top of 51 other measures, including two sponsored by Armbrister and one from Fraser.
Smitty would call it an "appearance of impropriety" if a lobbyist gave a legislator change for a buck. The fact that even a little ethics Nazi like him said there is nothing here is telling.
