Rural Republican senators also receiving fraudulent school voucher letters
Sen. Seliger says his office discovered that a deceased person had been impersonated writing a letter in favor of vouchers; says lawmakers are being "defrauded"
Quorum Report has now learned that some Republican senators who represent large
swaths of rural Texas are also receiving the same kind of “fraudulent” school
voucher letters that were reported earlier by rural
Texas House members.
Sen.
Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, is
said to have received the letters and Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, confirmed to QR’s Eleanor Dearman this afternoon that his
office has received hundreds of them.
Sen.
Seliger said one of the letters his office received
recently came from a person his staff later discovered is deceased.
