Land Commissioner McDonald Leases Submerged Lands for $1 Per Acre
Senate testimony shows McDonald issued hundreds of submerged coast leases with one dollar per acre offers and a state royalty later. No drilling occurred on most leases, yet the state could have earned over a million dollars from higher bids.

The committee progresses with revealing testimony.
