GOP operative should stand trial for money-laundering

GOP operative should stand trial for money-laundering: "State District Judge Bob Perkins today said he believes two officials with Texans for a Republican Majority should stand trial on felony charges of money laundering.

The judge ruled that the state election code is constitutional and said he disagreed with arguments that the money-laundering charges had to refer to 'cash' instead of a $190,000 check that the pair is accused laundering during the 2002 legislative elections.

Perkins, a Democrat who must run for office, referred to his own fundraisers: 'All the funds I ever received were checks. In my opinion, funds would include checks.'"
