Corrupt members of the Texas ruling class, including the Texas Tribune, have been targeting UT Regent Wallace Hall for trying to limit influence peddling in Austin.
Hall has recently disclosed information that suggest Texas government officials move connected kids ahead of unconnected kids in university and grad school admissions lines.
Watchdog.org smelled a rat when crony legislators like Jim Pitts and Kevin Eltife started attacking Hall over a lawsuit he didn’t disclose. Texas Watchdog began searching for undisclosed lawsuits involving appointees to state universities or education boards. After finding upwards of nine thousand, none of which prompted calls for impeachment by the trough-guardians currently doing the same to Hall, they declared victory in proving their point.
The Texas ruling class is worried about Hall, but because he threatens to limit their supply of trough feed, not because he didn’t disclose a lawsuit.
The Texas trough newspaper of record, The Texas Tribune, has faithfully published Hall’s attackers and seem to have stayed predictably uninterested in the other side of the story.
