Why isn't the media (i.e. the Dallas Morning News) covering this story instead?
Why isn't the D.A. investigating this instead?

ACTION ALERT & BACKGROUND INFO:
DECEMBER 15, 2008:
On behalf of the group Austinites Lobbying for Municipal Accountability (ALMA), and w/ the support of the Gray Panthers, the now late Bill Holloway, then chair of The Texas Green Party & Co-chair of the Travis County Green Party delivered a 155 pg package to the Travis Coutny D.A. requesting that it investigate questions of a criminal nature involving the City of Austin. These questions involved forgery, unaccounted for Fed Housing money, possible perjury, & fraud mis/mal/nonfeasance.
DECEMBER 26, 2008:
Marcia Farmer, from Houston was found dead in her home. She'd been raising parallel questions and 2 days earlier was featured on the front page of the Houston Chronicle.
JAN. 2009, a week later:
Bill Holloway was found dead in his home.
TO DATE:
In spite of the well documented irrefutable evidence that the Green Party delivered to the TC D.A., the D.A. has ignored for over 18 months the Green Party's repeated requests for referral for investigation of these questions of municipal corruption involving Fed $.
YET NOW:
the TC DA is instead investigating the very group who referred these matters to the D.A. for investigation.
Please consider writing a comment on this lates unbalanced news story by the Dallas Morning News?
More information on the scandal that the DA is ignoring can be found in the column to the right & the next page of this website.
SUGGESTED QUESTIONS TO POST FOR THE DALLAS MORNING NEWS ARTICLE:
Has the D.A. investigated the well-documented, serious violations by the CoA against the people? If so, where are the published reports of inquiry?
Why is TCDA using Public funds to "investigate" the very group who {earlier} brought alleged CoA abuses to personal attention of the Travis County Distric Attorney?
Why wasn't a quote taken from the Green Party for this article?
Is this a rumble between the Republicans and Democrats If so, then why involve the Green Party as its scapegoat?
Why attempt to exclude 92,000 voters who clearly said they want their vote to count elsewhere?
Is this not really more about a duopoly of powers that tends to exclude the interest and the voice of the people?
Haven't 92,000 people attested to that by saying they need/want another option to represent their voice and the public interest?
Is not attempting to exclude these 92,000 only one more example of this duopoly once again presuming it owns the voters and can exercise presumed territoriality over their voice and choice?
Is this attempt to exclude the 92,000 voices, a prime example of how the system attempts to shut out the will of the people? -- a system of exclusion and disenfranchisement as opposed to inclusion. Is this democracy?
Some of these 92,000 voices are voters who might otherwise not vote at all.
It is presumptuous and rather exclusive of The Democratic Leadership and the Republican Leadership to assume they have territoriality/ownership over 3rd party Independents.
Have the taxpayers even asked the DA to use our tax $ in a fashion that appears hostile to the voices of 92,000 people?
Wouldn't our tax dollars be better spent by instead investigating the matters that that the Green Party brought to the attention of the Travis County DA 18 months ago, rather than the DA investigating the very group (Green Party) who brought these questions of corruption, unaccounted federal funds, forgery, fraud and mis/mal/nonfeasance to the DA?
