The DMN continues beating the dead horse on legislators use of campaign funds. The Texas Ethics Commission doesn't seem to care, so why should we? Texas legislators may earn around $25,000 during a year in which the legislature is in session, $7,200 when it's not. By raising campaign funds to use for renting a car, renting an apartment and travelling from home to the dome they are saving taxpayer money. We don't have to raise legislative salaries and those that can afford to buy a representative can give it their best shot.

We're busy thinking on what we'd spend campaign funds on besides rent and utilities. We can guarantee you it wouldn't be to give to other candidates. If you're such a loser you can't raise your own money don't come crying to us about it. The legislators that dole out their campaign cash to help out the party are saps.
