DeLay inquiry is sought
DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Latest News: "A public interest group that has long accused House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of ethical lapses said Thursday that it will ask the Justice Department to open a bribery investigation against him, citing a report that a Kansas company donated to one of his political committees to gain favorable treatment in an energy bill.
The left-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington said the revelation goes beyond anything the House ethics committee looked into or found when it admonished Mr. DeLay last fall for playing golf with Westar Energy executives. That was shortly after the company sent $25,000 to Texans for a Republican Majority.
The ethics panel said last fall that the outing looked improper even though no favors were issued. It found that Mr. DeLay did not improperly solicit Westar donations or grant special favors."
