(FOREST HILL, Texas) — A pair of Texas politicians resigned after they allegedly misused public funds to attend an event on Michelle Obama’s book tour.
Forest Hill, Texas, Mayor Lyndia Thomas and Mayor Pro Tem Beckie Hayes submitted their resignations on Wednesday, ahead of a public hearing over alleged misconduct and expenses related to the former first lady’s book tour event in Dallas last year.
The pair allegedly received reimbursements for two $545 tickets for Obama’s Becoming book tour. The expense was approved by the city manager, and Hayes received a check, but she said she paid it back when members of a citizens committee voiced concern.
Thomas said she resigned because she didn’t want council members to decide her fate.

Grifter sisters.
Grifters gonna grift.................
Beckie and Lydia....my suggestion would be to look at all legislation put forth by these two SJWs.
The article doesn’t say what political party the two ladies belonged to. So I’m going to guess that they are Whigs. Or maybe members of the old Greenback Party. Those folks are always up to no good.

Any Democrat resigning from any political post is a real man-bites-dog story. Newsworthy, almost unbelievable.
Dupers gotta dupe
The thing that gets me about the Forest Hills mayor is that she’s getting paid $80,000 per year. The second lady...based on news items from 2015, I suspect she’s making at least $60,000 a year. Both could have easily pulled out cash from their personal pocket and spent this with ease. It makes no sense to get this deep into a scandal, over stupid book-signing tour tickets. They both need to be fired and get regular jobs.
Headline?
Becoming
Unemployed
Progressives have always identified with the Bull Moose party.
Most people would pay money to NOT see the wookie.

They are Democrats and they are Amish.
Forest Hill, TX ... population 13,000. Tiny little area on the southeast side of Fort Worth.
I always love these excuses....Its all kosker cuz she paid it back when someone found out. Not that the Grifting was unethical and most likely illegal.
“see Michelle Obama”
Gag me with a spoon.....
Some are always looking for a “program” which is usually “free”, that is, tax payer funded.
I used to work with the previous Mayor (and current councilmember) Joubert in security; one of the most anti-white racist A-holes I’ve ever met. Off the charts.
