Tea party group: Democrats simply more corrupt

There's something the Texas Ethics Advisory Board isn't telling us.

I know — it's hard to believe. William “Bill” Elmer, the 80-year-old chairman of the tea party-linked political action committee, seems to have embraced the Facebook generation's love of oversharing.

In complaints filed last month with the state-run Texas Ethics Commission, the group alleges that Mayor Julián Castro and council members Diego Bernal, Ivy Taylor, Leticia Ozuna, Rey Saldaña, David Medina, Ray Lopez, Cris Medina and Reed Williams have violated sections of the Texas Government Code and Ethics Commission Rules more than 1,000 times.

Meanwhile, the city's two most reliably conservative council members, Elisa Chan and Carlton Soules, skated scot-free.
