Abilene Reporter News: Columns: "Many things were happening, and some were not, during the closing days of the 79th Session of the Texas Legislature.

But another important decision Thursday was handed down a couple blocks away from the capitol, at the Travis County Courthouse. Senior District Judge Joseph H. Hart ruled that former state Rep. Bill Ceverha, R-Dallas, treasurer of the Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee (TRMPAC), owes almost $200,000 in fines, plus attorney's fees, to five Democrats who lost races for the Texas House in 2002."
