Error 404: Trip Reimbursable by State

Senator Rep. Juan Garcia joined the chorus of legislators upset at some errors in a report detailing gifts accepted by outside sources. "Blasting a message like this out that's now viral all over the blogs is disheartening to those of us committed to addressing the invisible hand wielded by the lobby over the members. I thought we were on the same side of this problem."

Those damn blogs. If only the legislators themselves were this quick to notice when they made an error and then fixed it with the speed and efficiency as the Texans for Public Justice did! Can you imagine? No. Me either. But, on the bright side, Senator Garcia knows what viral and blog mean.
