REPUBLIC OF THE RIO GRANDE: Texas Democratic Party on Life Support

REPUBLIC OF THE RIO GRANDE: Texas Democratic Party on Life Support: "Texas Democratic Party Treasurer Miguel Wise says rumors that the party must find $30,000 by the end of the week in order to keep its doors open are wide of the mark.

However, Wise confirmed that the state party's executive committee agreed at a meeting Saturday to offload high-paid consultants, rather than lay off full-time staff. He said the committee also agreed to instruct all staff to work on fundraising, rather than their regular duties."
