The Texas Association of Business must answer questions about how it raised and spent $1.9 million in secret corporate money that's been at the center of civil lawsuits and a criminal investigation for almost three years, the Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday.

The all-Republican court denied the association's pretrial maneuver to block the questions without comment, but not until it had frozen attempts by Democrats to ask questions in the politically charged lawsuit for almost 18 months.

and more:

In a separate lawsuit, Judge Hart ruled that the treasurer of Texans for a Republican Majority, a political committee created by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Sugar Land, broke the law when it failed to report corporate money it spent on campaign activity.
