AUSTIN (July 14, 2009)--A Texas Ethics Commission ruling posted Tuesday fines McLennan County Sheriff Larry Lynch $500 after the commission found that Lynch failed to include information on campaign reports filed in 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Among other things, the commission found that Lynch “failed to properly disclose total political contributions maintained” averaging about $23,740 in violation of the Texas Election Code.

Larry Lynch is your typical unethical,silver tongued, lying politician. He has never been a real law enforcement officer in his entire life. He would make a great used car salesman.

Poor Larry. It does seem like just a slap on the wrist but hopefully there will be a COMPETENT alternative in the next election, not just someone they are grooming down there at Ft. Lynch.

Never let it be said I don't admit when I am wrong. I thought Larry was conspiring to outsource the county jail. Turns out the $561,000 taxpayer dollars Larry spent for overtime and temp staff was just a continuation of how he manages his personal business. It's not a conspiracy...it's profound incompetence. I was wrong.
