Neff Demands Pryor Resign Over Farm fraud and prison waste
Governor Neff launched renewed calls for Pryor to resign accusing him of corrupt acts during his term including selling seventy acres of state land at far below value, permitting a manager to own a meat market and profit from it, and failing to act on theft by penitentiary employees. He cited $126000 paid for Fort Bend Cotton Oil Mill with questionable value and a prison system loss of $953119.15 in 1920. The governor also noted misconduct by prison staff and misconduct related to convict labor, while a Royal Arch Mason gathering was held in Richland Springs with Mark Master’s degree work.
