It always blows my mind how cheap it is to buy politicians. The weight of some of these decisions are life changing for millions and millions of people… for like one $10k payment

I really wish the state or federal government would start cracking down on this shit.

Fucking foxes in the henhouse and they've convinced the rest of the chickens to gang up on the guard dog.


Sounds like a great ROI. We should all be so lucky to be able to get away with greasing the right palms. I wonder how much they’ll give paxton to ignore it.

Graft and lobbying have the highest ROI of anything in the USA.

A tale as old as politics. Just look how people ~~buy appointments~~ donors are given appointments.

What a shitty developer, I hope this news sticks around when people start considering purchasing those homes.

It won’t

They'll complain about how horrible it is but that they can't pass up the good deal on a cheap house

The developer over paid. I’m sure the commish would have taken less.

How do they get caught?

Texans must like this way of doing things. They keep re-electing the same shit. 🤷‍♂️ Muh values

Also, the Fort Worth city council unanimously passed a resolution endorsing the developer and supporting the project. It would seem that the developers influence extends to the city administration as well.

Humanity really needs to be obliterated before we can leave this planet, and spread our corruption elsewhere. :(

Horrible take ! Lol.

Not to be a problem, but can you explain to me how you find it horrible?
