Rep. Coleman Delivers Ethics Complaint Against Ron Wilson
State Representative Garnet F. Coleman (D-Houston) delivered to the Texas Ethics Commission on Saturday two ethics complaints against former State Representative Ron Wilson, who is currently serving as Speaker Tom Craddick's Assistant Parliamentarian.
The first ethics complaint states that Mr. Wilson has not yet paid an $8,300 fine to the State of Texas for failing to disclose his campaign finances before his March 2004 defeat in the Texas Democratic Primary. In failing to disclose his campaign finances before his defeat, Mr. Wilson hid $10,000 from the "All Children Matter PAC," which is run by Dr. James Leininger
"Ron Wilson has failed to pay an $8,300 to the state of Texas," Rep. Coleman said. "We should not have an Assistant Parliamentarian advising the Speaker on rules when the Assistant Parliamentarian cannot follow the rules himself."
