Bill Baumbach, who runs the muckraking Collin County Observer website (and has contributed to FrontBurner previously), sent me this note following the news Friday that David Cary, of University Park, was sentenced to 14 years in prison for bribing a Collin County judge.
What it means to be a good old-fashioned Collin County conservative, and its consequences:
A citizen gives and sends the money for a bribe: 30 days, and probation and a fine.
A citizen spends the bribes: 100 days in jail, and probation and a fine
A citizen offers a bribe: 14 years in the pen.
An elected judge accepts a bribe: just probation, probation, a fine and community service.
