DC: A Texas developer who pledged $10,000 to Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s campaign had his donation returned to him after insinuating that his contribution would clinch his appointment to the state Board of Regents.
“You make a large donation to the governor, and in turn you are eligible for appointment to the Board of Regents,” George McMahan, a real estate developer in Lubbock, told the ABC affiliate, KAMC, reflecting his aspirations to be on the Texas Tech University board.
“What this individual suggested is not only false, but also illegal,” said Ciara Matthews, a spokeswoman for Abbott, in a statement to the Houston Chronicle. “Because of the unfortunate comments, the donation was returned. This is not how the Governor does business.” read more
keep it up George McMahan, and you won’t be eligible for parole let alone an appointment to the Board of Regents on a Siberian Tech University board.
Well there’s something we seldom have an opportunity to deal with in politics. Integrity!
It’s almost like McMahan was trying to set up Abbott for a phony scandal investigation. Who goes and blurts that kind of stuff to the leftist news media?
Corrupt and stupid is a bad combination, McMahan.
You did the right thing, Abbott. Thank you.
Greg Abbott is a class act. I would expect him to do no less. More info below.

Might’ve worked, if the guy hadn’t shot his mouth off about it.
Long time reader…but never commented. Vietvet is so right on the lack of integrity in the Texas Republican Party…who are totally down with winking at the total lawlessness of an unsecured vote. Big zero nada been done to ensure only registered citizens vote in Nov, because the entire Texas Republican Party is selling the unity of state and church and that our Christian mission is to allow the power of the State enforce our charitable giving. Impoverishing your neighbor in service to God from the Texas Republican Party while the Texas Democrats are calling for illegales to be normalized BEFORE they even leave their South of the Border nation.
What could possibly go wrong??? the entire Texas Republican Party is full of hucksters of nihilism.
