From a tipster:
The Craddicktator wouldn’t recognize the Members to vote on his leadership, but now state employees have a chance. His budget lackey, Don Green, is in a run-off for the Employees Retirement System board, against Kimberly Ross Eaton, a parole officer supervisor from West Texas. You’ll recall that a Craddick-appointee to this mixed-elected and appointed board was Bill Ceverha, treasurer of the indicted TRMPAC. He also thought it would be cute to list on his financial disclosure statements a “check” as a “disclosed” gift (that turned out to be $50,000 from uber-donor Bob Perry). Do we really need Craddick money guys on the ERS board?
State employees, the ERS Board manages your retirement money! Pay Attention! Don’t throw away the ballot in your mail box! Vote by mail or online: www.ers.state.tx.us. (Voting closes July 13.) I, for one, prefer a West Texas chick skilled in tracking down criminals over someone who manages money for a dictator.
nice or not, this news got me to vote in an election i otherwise don't care about.
Don Green is a great guy, very smart, trustworthy. I second the comment about not holding his boss against him.

Don Green is a nice guy and very competent with numbers. Don't hold his boss against him.
