Tom McGregor over at Dallas Blog has accused District Attorney Craig Watkins of not only Facebooking while on the job but using it to campaign, which would be a no-no. Says McGregor:
As a matter of fact, D.A. Watkins posts Facebook comments when he should be working in his office on weekdays during the hours between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. He even does Facebook campaigning and fundraising from the D.A.’s office, which technically is the property of Dallas County. Hence, his actions raise ethical concerns, since the taxpayers of Dallas County are subsidizing his campaign activities.
My question (and I’ve posed it to McGregor, who didn’t have an answer): how do you know it’s Watkins who is doing the updating? For instance, this post, which is bylined “Tim Rogers” is actually being written by me, Krista Nightengale.
