I meant it as a joke because everyone on Facebook knows that she frequently promotes "Texas" restaurant as her family's favorite - and I haven't seen her post anything about any other restaurants. I'm sorry for implying anything illegal. Please contact me before posting my comments in the future if they seem a little crazy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161802308679368482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-11285428216696180902013-05-16T14:40:01.699-05:002013-05-16T14:40:01.699-05:00Tell us what you mean, Peggy.

I did not say or imply that it was illegal. If you have evidence of a quid pro quo, produce it or leave the insinuations of illegal behavior out of the comments, please.Mark Stegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376182294736839659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498525082522582900.post-76355790071700120482013-05-16T14:35:23.419-05:002013-05-16T14:35:23.419-05:00pay·o·la [pey-oh-luh] noun Informal.

The city puts all those reports online for all to see. Or will as the city continues its program of more and more transparent government. Right? Right? Anyone on the council care to champion this?

The developer I cited might have given Maczka $7,000, not $5,000, and Maczka might have collected a lot more from people who had business before the council than just this one developer. I admit I didn't do enough homework on this. This one developer just caught my eye, for obvious reasons if you read the <i>Dallas Observer</i> story.Mark Stegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376182294736839659noreply@blogger.com
