Land deal figure claims not paid for role
State Rep Delwin Jones says he may have been the intended recipient of a $5,000 cut from a 1968 veterans land deal but did nothing to earn it and did not receive any money. He says he set up an appointment and made calls for a constituent. The Houston Post report cites a contract promising the payment to an unnamed third party instrumental in the project. Jones, offered a partnership by Harold K. Davies and J. W. McCulloch, turned it down.
