I'm glad you're on top of the fraud Delwin Jones is trying to perpetrate on his district.

I was actually surprised when I checked the Texas Ethics Commission reports and added up all of Mr. Jones downstate PAC and Lobbyist support. I conservatively put it at $37,000. The AJ with Mr. Rangel leading the charge are tilting the news to only report that Dr Hnatek is getting PAC support.

Did you notice that Mr. Jones reported a $1000 in kind contribution from the Lubbock Airport for parking. We're such a generous city to be giving political contributions to Mr. Jones through the Airport. Isn't that a public, taxpayer funded agency?

I have been commenting on the AJ stories at Lubbock online. I would encourage other listeners to read and comment on the reporting Mr. Rangel ISN'T doing, which appears to me to be an obvious attempt, right in the election, to swing public opinion toward his buddy Mr. Jones.

To keep things honest, Mr. Jones needs to be called to account and I'm glad you're doing that.

Thanks
