Neil Bush's involvement in raising money for an HISD charitable foundation to help buy his company's educational software raises serious legal and ethical concerns, experts say.

The head of a national watchdog group described it as "self-dealing" and characterized the agreement as pushing "the border of legality."

The Houston Independent School District Board is scheduled to vote today whether to accept the money, part of a proposal touted by some HISD officials and Bush's company as win-win arrangement that would bring innovative learning tools to district schools at a reduced cost.

The board was originally scheduled to vote on the deal in December but postponed a decision on accepting the $115,000 Bush helped raise, requesting more information about the software and how HISD entered into the agreement without taking bids.

Are we now going to have a horde of reporters following Neil Bush around, a la Roger Clinton? (sarcasm off)

Well, looking on the bright side, there are not any underage hookers involved in this particular Bush scandal. You will have to check Mr. Bush's other scandals for those titilating tidbits.

What a family. BushCo. They all have records.
