John Davis: No explanations needed

Muse continues her investigation into the campaign finances of State Rep. John Davis (R, Clear Lake).


The gist of most of these problems is that you have to follow TEC rules and give an explanation of what the expenses were for. Here's what I have uncovered so far:

In American Express expenses with no explanation: $43,243.78.

In reimbursements to himself with no explanation: $31,916.42.

Then of course, there is the boot issue.

And, now I bring to you his reimbursements to others with no explanation: $1471.28.

You just can't be doing these things. Read the TEC rules here. You cannot take your campaign cash and spend it without explanation.


Be sure to follow the links (especially the boot links) and see the details, or lack thereof as Davis would have it. An ethics complaint has been filed, and Davis has been notified about it, with a hearing to follow. Stay tuned.
