Texas kickback probe may indict up to 50 county officials
A Northeast Texas official will resign amid a federal kickback investigation that could lead to charges against as many as 50 county commissioners across 16 counties. The probe covers road and bridge funds and spans up to six years of alleged payments by vendors. Some officials have begun to repay funds while cooperating with federal agents.
