lawdog, Mind if I change the subject for a moment.... I saw an AP wire today....extract below, and I have a question...my memory isn't too good...One of the Presidential candidates made a reference to having his administration meet a high ethical standard not just a "legal one". Do you recall which candidate that was? Bush Appointee in Texas Tax Scandal by MARK BABINECK Associated Press Writer HOUSTON (AP) -- A member of the Texas low-income housing board was convicted Thursday of accepting bribes from business partners to defraud the government of valuable tax credits. The verdict against Florita Bell Griffin, appointed in 1995 to the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs by Gov. George W. Bush, came after about 14 hours of deliberations over four days....... ... Washington [Griffin's attorney], who argued that the money and land she received was compensation for consulting work, told jurors the activity described by prosecutors might have seemed unethical, but it was not illegal." Best Regards, jttmab
