I heard on the raido that the FBI is searching both John Wylie Price's home and office.
In resent Dallas history the searchee hasn't fared well in this type of situation.

It sounds big, the FBI is searching his office, his home, his Bentley and I understand there are other searches at other locations as well.
Being that this is the FBI, Mr. Price may be in big trouble. I sure hope this doesn't turn into another race issue.
If CEO's increased their pay at the same rate as Average Americans
their pay would average $1,384,890 not $10,621,000 |

It's about time.
And it's a safe bet that JWP will turn this into a race issue the size of a giant black hole.

Maybe we'll see some file video of his community appearances...Oh wait, that might be the crosswalk shuffle, or the I'm pulling your windshield wipers off your van! Hmmm, a local reporter once responded to an audience question about JWP (I was in the audience), and he pondered awhile, then said "he sure knows how to get a camera".

Price was leading a protest close to flag pole hill on Northwest Hwy. more than 20 years ago. My father in law was passing by and Price walked out in front of his car and my father in law didn't slow down and nearly hit him. If he is stupid enough to walk out in front of a moving car, he deserves to get hit.

I'll never forget Price protesting outside the WFAA studios when a young mother and her 6 year old daughter, on their way to recital at the studio, drove pass Price's pick line and Price attacked the mini van, bending and tearing off the windshield wiper and scaring the hell out of a young mother and a little girl, that knew nothing of Price.
A few months ago he made the statement "You're all white people and you can go to hell." I don't think a person like this is interested in serving the people, he is interested in his own gain or maybe his own game.
If he goes to jail for a long time I think I will not be disappointed.

That's what cowards do Cary.
The man is a coward, 100% pure, plain and simply a coward.
He hides that fact behind the racism he gladly displays each day.
But first and foremost, he is a coward.

I heard today that other AA politicians in Dallas may be involved as well... rumors are Eddie Bernice Johnson may also be involved in whatever they're looking at.

There has been no suggestion that Ms Johnson is tied to the investigation other than in the very bigoted, ignorant, and hateful comments that members of the public attached to the WFAA news story.

It doesn't matter how corrupt she is proven to be, she will continue to get reelected again and again. That was proven last year.

Maybe, its just time to stop assuming all Politicians are crooks and accepting the fact like thorns come with roses and start demanding more real transparency and actually prosecute and imprison people that break the law for personal gain.
Maybe its time to demand Politicians are excluded from the laws they make to hide money such as in personal trusts that can be worth millions.
If we want honesty in Politic's we need to end corruption and the best way I can see to do that is to make all of their finances, trusts, stocks, investments, free cars, honorary degrees, everything they are given, publicly available so every dime they get and anything that carry's a monetary value is reported on a website for all to see. There should also be a law that if a politician is involved in a law for or against a company or industry that, that politician cannot be employed in that industry or a competitive industry or company for 5 years from the time they leave office.
I think we should demand more, not accept the status quo, even if that means our favorite politicians get busted. How to do that...that's the real challenge.
