DEMOCRATS SUPPORT THIS DRUNKEN PIECE OF TRASH ?? First there was her drunken driving arrest, then a conviction and jail time. Next, Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg won a civil lawsuit to keep her elected office. Meanwhile, a separate criminal investigation found that her bad behavior in jail didnt rise to the level of a crime. One would think that Lehmbergs woes would be over. Not so. Austin solo Kerry OBrien, the same man who initiated the removal suit against Lehmberg, filed an ethics complaint against her on Aug. 8. The Texas Ethics Commission has five days to determine to accept or reject it. OBrien alleged an issue with her campaign finance reports involving more than $227,000 in attorney fees she paid to Austin firm Richards, Rodriguez & Skeith, which defended her against the civil removal suit. She won and remained the district attorney. OBrien wrote in an email, When someone pays almost a quarter of a million dollars on the local D.A.s behalf, we should know who did so—regardless of what the law says. But the law says she is required to report the contributions to her campaign.
