El Paso Taking Cues from Washington

The Houston Chronicle reports on an enormous scandal in El Paso. Corruption, bribery and secret meetings in bathroom stalls are de rigeur for El Paso it seems. One federal agent believes that up to 50 people could be indicted over the lengthy investigation. The investigation centers around payoffs for county contracts.

County Commissioner Haggerty said what we've always known about people in El Paso. "Some of the people I have worked with on Commissioner's Court are really stupid," said Haggerty, brother of longtime state Rep. Pat Haggerty, R-El Paso.
