I was so moved that I grabbed my wife's checkbook and dashed off a $500 check for "Katrin Relief". I noticed others taking similar actions. The collection was taken by the ushers. Over a year later we learned that the checks did not go to the Katrina victims but instead were deposited by Rodis in a secret account in the Heartland bank in Fredericksburg. The only signatory to that account was Rodis. The money has since disapeared from the Heartland bank in checks and with-drawalls written by Rodis.

But the state doesn’t have the funds for Health and Human Service needs.

And is this the same law that allows legislators to make donations to their pet causes with taxpayer funds to the tune of 36 million in direct contributions not to mention the money and contracts funneled in more discrete and insidious ways through state agencies?
