Dave Palmer, a California man who calls himself "The Watchdawg," filed ethics complaint against more than 20 Texas lawmakers for campaign finance violations yesterday. Four local Republican lawmakers - State Sen. Chris Harris of Arlington and State Reps Todd Smith of Euless, Phil King of Weatherford and Linda Harper-Brown of Irving - made the list.
Their alleged missteps include using campaign money to pay for dry cleaning (King) and gym membership fees (Smith).
Visit his site and scroll down to the section titled "Texas Reporter" for all the details. A PDF of all the different ethics complaints Palmer has filed is here.
I love that he's the watch DAWG, not the watchdog.

Let the Watch DAWG look at Zane Hilger,
(Local constable vowed to protect the Texas & American Constitution). Constable Zane has Major ethics issues not addressed!!
1) Did not file in his campaign finance report the 1000.00 dollars for filing with the G.O.P.
2) Electioneering in side the polling area, just ten steeps from his office window next to the polling area and voters... What is up with that?
The best one is that you are not allowed to put signs around the 100 ft distance marker... Swaying the Voters to keep incumbents in office.
TARRANT COUNTY COMMISIONERS & ELECTIONS DEPT. SHAME, SHAME!!!
