The editorial staff of the Dallas Morning News has decided to endorse Jamie Dorris a first time candidate for The Texas House District 113 over nine term incumbent Joe Driver. It is best stated by the Dallas News "State Rep. Joe Driver's double-dipping on travel reimbursements is such a lapse in ethics and judgment that it's impossible to recommend him for re-election from Garland-based House District 113."
Driver's double dipping was practiced over 18 years in the House, he would charge his campaign for Air Fare, Hotels, mileage and expenses, then he would submit the same receipts for the same expenses to the State which he would then pocket. All he could say to the AP reporter that confronted him with his misdeeds was "It pretty much screws my week.".He seems unable to take responsibility for his actions, making excuses such as he was doing what others in the House of Representatives were doing. and he just made an error, he didn't know he was doing anything wrong. Why would anyone in their right mind send a person back to Austin to represent them that couldn't determine the difference between right and wrong. Also, this error that Driver insist on calling it is currently being investigated by the Travis County District Attorney.The Dallas Morning News found favor with candidate Jamie Dorris for Her "instincts seem right on environmental and transit issues and the need for bi-partisan solutions."
