The only surprise, I guess, is that she waited this long to strike a deal with prosecutors. The lead from the DMN:
State Rep. Terri Hodge, D-Dallas, pleaded guilty early this morning to lying on her tax returns in connection with the FBI’s Dallas City Hall public corruption investigation, an act that ends her 14-year political career.
Prosecutors agreed to drop the bribery charges. Seems like a good deal for Hodge, to me.
