I've still don't understand where Cisneros got the money to pay the woman the amounts he did. It would be one thing if he'd been a senior partner in a major law firm, but he came from a poor background and was always a politician. They get paid fairly well, but not that well. Even if his wife were working at a very well paying job she'd certainly miss the amounts he was spending on his mistress from the family budget. Can anyone explain where he was getting the $$$ from?

Ah, the unasked question, where did Henry get all that play money?
Imagine that you are the head strategist for the Rats and your plan to win back Congress is to brand the R`s as corrupt and, just as you are starting your winning campaign, focusing the public on Washington malfeasance,the other shoe falls and this report comes out.
As Rush says, they have stepped into every cow pie in the pasture.

I think the City of San Antonio was paying it's mayor about $20,000.00 at that time. Mostly in Lulu's, (in lieu of expenses). There, now you know!
