Remember?
Remember Blake Farenthold, the Texas Republican Congressman who resigned after it was revealed that he spent $84,000 of our money to settle a sexual harassment case against a staffer and then it came out that he was totally gross and told nasty jokes around his congressional office, and that he’s just a mess?
Remember how he promised to give the $84,000 back to the taxpayers but then he changed his mind and now he won’t?
Remember how he came back to Texas and one of his buddies on the Texas Port Authority hired him in secret, which is against Texas law, to work for a newly created position on the Port Authority and that job pays more than Blake was making as a congressman?
Remember how a local newspaper sued him and the Port Authority over the illegal hire and not giving them public records?
Remember?
Well, they say all that ends well. He has resigned from the Port Authority job.
Let’s hope this is the end and Blake has to get a real job, pay back any illegal monies he got while “working” for the port authority and the money to spend to settle the original harassment claim.
But, I bet it’s not.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
