Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

State sues director of Garland-based antidrug charity | Dallas Morning News | News for Dallas, Texas | Breaking News for Dallas-Fort Worth | Dallas Morning News: "The state on Tuesday sued the executive director of a Garland-based anti-drug and low-income housing charity, accusing him of violating nonprofit rules by using tax-free money to pay himself an exorbitant salary, finance his failed congressional race and run a NASCAR racing team.

Among the allegations leveled against Gene Christensen, who this year unsuccessfully challenged Ralph Hall for his congressional seat, is that from 2006 to 2008, he transferred $545,000 from the charity, People Against Drugs Affordable Public Housing, into his personal checking account."
