Bush truthfulness questioned Meanwhile, questions about the truthfulness of Bush's statements regarding his relationship with Lay popped up in newspapers and on TV news programs. Bush has said he "got to know" Lay as a result of his membership on the Governor's Business Council, a nonpartisan Texas board to which Lay was appointed by Democrat Ann Richards. Lay "was a supporter of Ann Richards in my run in 1994. ... And I decided to leave him in place just for the sake of continuity. And that's when I first got to know Ken," Bush told reporters last week. However, according to campaign finance records, Lay and his wife gave $37,500 to Bush during his run for governor -- three times the money that Richards received from the Lays. In addition, Lay told a PBS interviewer last summer that his relationship with Bush predated that campaign. Enron and/or its employees also contributed to Bush's unsuccessful 1978 congressional run. cbs.marketwatch.com.
