Senator Craig Estes


...And did you all hear about our erstwhile State Senator Craig Estes (Senate District 30) from Wichita Falls. There have been two stories and an editorial column about him in the Denton Record Chronicle.
I have two questions:
1. How crooked is this guy?
2. How stupid is this guy?

One of the things he did wrong was to use campaign funds for non campaign items. He was ordered to pay a fine of $52,000 (give or take), but is was reduced to around $17,000.
How did he pay the fine?
He paid it out of his campaign chest. Apparently, that is a proper use of campaign funds.
WOW!
Does anyone want to run for State Senate?
