GOP-linked firm paid $532,000 for Greens petition drive, files say

Slater reports:
AUSTIN – A petition drive to put a Green Party candidate for governor on the Texas ballot cost $532,000 and was bankrolled through an out-of-state corporation with Republican ties, according to court documents.

Democrats say the drive was a disguised effort to help Republican Rick Perry by fielding a candidate who would take votes from Democrat Bill White in November.
