Texas PAC Official Violated Ethics Law

A Texas judge said Thursday that the treasurer of a political fundraising committee organized by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) violated the state's election law by failing to report $684,507 in contributions from corporations and other donors in 2002.
The civil court ruling is the first to sustain complaints by Democrats that improper acts underpinned a Texas political victory engineered by DeLay and his advisors, which had the effect of cementing Republican control of the House of Representatives.
