I was speaking of his salary as mayor of San Antonio. It was $3000.00 per annum with lulu's extra. Yes I know he went into a private sector "job" that paid about 150k, but he waqsn't at that for very long.

This evidences that the "old money" in San Antonio can be very appreciative and supportive of past favors.

No his salary as Mayor was about $140,000. He had additional income from speaking fees and some other ventures. The Barret report makes it plain that his tax returns for some reason understated his income substantially for at least 4 years. I don't remember the correct numbers but they were in the neighborhood of $43,000 one year, $125,000 one year, $150,000 one year and $67,000. The real numbers are in the Barret Report which I read last night. That was the income they could identify. In addition to that he closed out an IRA early which would involve both regular income tax, capital gains and a 10% penalty that he never paid.

I can't believe that he wasn't nailed for felony tax fraud and at least forced to pay the appropriate taxes even without penalties. The IRS and DOJ blocked the investigation.
