DeLay PACs helped fund anti-rail effort (civil suit against Delay)

Great to see him under fire. (I hate our rail line; incredibly stupid design with lightrail running down the middle of a street right next to cars and pedestrians; car accidents every few days; no crossing guard rails..but I like Tom Delay even less!)

Two political action committees controlled by DeLay gave $30,000 to Texans for True Mobility, which spearheaded a high-dollar effort against Metro's proposal to expand its light rail beyond the Main Street line.

But Birnberg said the disclosure of the contributions is further evidence that he and two other plaintiffs should move forward with a lawsuit they filed to force Texans for True Mobility to disclose the names of its donors.

The civil suit alleges that Texans for True Mobility broke the law when it concealed the identity of contributors who underwrote advertisements bashing Metro's transit expansion plan. The lawsuit seeks damages of twice the amount of money the group collected.
Texans for True Mobility contended that it was not a political action committee advocating against the referendum but was trying to educate voters about transportation issues.

1. His ego seems to be only out done by Bush's ego

What is it with these guys in Texas any how? When I lived in Alaska they state was filled with them and they did have big egos for some reason. I got so I could tell them by dress and sort of went the other way. They sure did keep the belt buckle business in money.
