There was a truck carrying a forklift that showed up at his house, but it left without the forklift being unloaded. Someone reported that the forklift was for his ego, but he wasn't home.

Seems they are investigating him for two things. The cars he has and the proceeds from the Kwanzafest he puts on every year. I'm neither a JWP lover or hater. I do think local politicans should have term limits because once they get entrenched in office it's a wrap.

Wow, is that guy still around?! I remember living in Denton in the mid-90s and seeing him act crazy on the TV news.

They are also investigating an art gallery owner that he calls an assistant. There are receipts for him paying out if political contributions the art dealer for catering and several auto repairs. Who has an art dealer do car repairs??????

Correction: That's a lot of money for dramatically playing the race card on the tax payers' dime.
