Glenn said Rep. Joe Driver (R-Garland) should resign a year ago. That’s when an AP reporter caught him stealing money. Travis County prosecutors recently came to the same conclusion — yet they gave the guy deferred adjudication so that he can remain in office through 2013 and collect his pension when he retires. The man has admitted to a third-degree felony of abuse of official capacity. He’ll draw a pension of nearly $60,000. We live in a great country.
