Open the Texas Revolvers report.
This report would have been much more monotonous if the Texas lobby was not chock full of characters. Where else—besides Disneyland—can you find so many people who use professional names such as Doc, Woody, Nub, Rusty, Ike, Gib, Buzz, Ace or Babe?
Texas Revolvers was a collaborative project
of the staff of Texans for Public Justice, all of whom had a hand in its
production. Some labor specialization occurred. Craig “Fuzzy” McDonald
oversaw the big picture. Bill “Dub” Medaille was the database custodian.
Fred “Bum” Richardson and John “Rio” Lofton conducted research. Aimée
“Gumbo” Daigle did research and laid out these pages. Andrew “Buck” Wheat
supplied the verbiage. Jason “Sketch” Stout of Stout Illustrations designed
the cover.
Texans for Public Justice is a nonpartisan,
nonprofit, consumer-oriented policy and research organization that focuses
on corporate responsibility and the role of money in politics.
