Poor Boy Campaign Voices Attack on Banking Ties
In a Saturday Morning 1972 report from Lubbock, candidates attack the banking tie ins of Sharpstown. James is accused of introducing Gus Mutscher to Sharp and selling land to Joseph Novotny. The piece notes phantom charters and state money in a bank, urging tighter regulation by the state banking board and SEI. Rudolph argues not all bank holding companies are bad but warns against potential consolidations.
