If you miss the broadcast... (4.00 / 1)

Bill Moyer's is great about putting videos and transcripts up at his site.

The report was very damaging (4.00 / 1)

to the TRC. It went into great detail about Shipp's research and the blatant malpractice of Michael Williams. He should be impeached at the least.

Can you impeace a RR commissioner? (4.00 / 1)

I don't know (0.00 / 0)

Maybe we could have a recall...

...or, just throw him in jail where he belongs.

I can't believe that he was elected to another 6 year term. He doesn't plan to serve out that term though because the Republican Party of losers are pushing him BIG TIME for a higher office. If it's a federal office, that would be great because, thankfully, the rest of the country is smarter than Texas.  Texas would elect Satan if he ran on the Republican ticket.

Election figures (0.00 / 0)

From my Parker County friend:

Mark Thompson earned 44% of the vote with only $50.00 in reported campaign contributions

Michael Williams (incumbent) won the election with $773,891.00 campaign contributions

including $222,820 from the oil and gas industry.  

Aubrey McClendon, CEO of Chesapeake, contributed $25,000 to William's campaign.

What might Thompson have done with $100,000?
