Two groups indicted in alleged scheme to tip 2002 elections

MySA.com: Metro | State: "Two groups heavily involved in 2002 Texas politics were indicted Thursday on charges of misusing corporate money to illegally influence the outcome of that year's elections, which gave Republicans control of the state Capitol for the first time in modern history.

A Travis County grand jury issued four multiple-count indictments against the Texas Association of Business, or TAB, and one indictment against Texans for a Republican Majority, a political action committee formed by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to wrest control of the Texas House of Representatives from Democrats."
