FBI Accountant Testifies About Deposits Received by John Wiley Price. FBI accountant David Garcia testified for the prosecution yesterday that, over a decade, Dallas County Commissioner Price did receive $1 million from lobbyist Kathy Nealy in the form of cash, checks, and bank transfers to bribe him. Garcia said Price used that money to pay his credit cards and mortgage, among other things.

Barbara Bush Stands with Planned Parenthood. The former first daughter was the keynote speaker at an annual Planned Parenthood fundraiser yesterday at the Omni Fort Worth Hotel. The luncheon raised more than $400,000. “I am proud to stand with Planned Parenthood not only because women, regardless of where they are from, deserve to live dignified, healthy lives, [but] … because it’s a really good investment. We know that when women are healthy, their families and their children are healthier, too,” Bush said.
