Craddick face scrutiny over personal financial ties
A Texas lawmaker asked Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle to probe Speaker Tom Craddick for potential personal financial gain from a Craddick owned entity renting from a state contractor paid millions on projects. Rep. Lon Burnam said the arrangement fails the smell test as Craddick nears a House vote on his speakership. The inquiry follows Craddick ally Jim Pitts challenging him for the leadership post as the 80th Legislature opens.
