Jack Campbell, former lobbyist for the Texas Association of Business, speaks out in a Statesman op-ed about the recently concluded prosecution of TAB (earlier) which saw charges against Campbell dropped:
Ronnie Earle spent six years trying to get the taste of sour grapes out of his mouth. He badly wanted to convict TAB for exercising the right of free speech but lost. His attempt at pitting corporate America against the little guys was nothing more than a power play to avenge his goose-egg track record of convicting public figures.
Meanwhile, a Statesman editorial frets about corporate money in elections; too bad they aren’t more concerned with free speech. At least they acknowledged that Earle’s declaration of victory was ludicrous.
