It's hard to get 15 homes in a game of monopoly. I don't know how Ken Paxson got 15 homes. He was impeached by his own party for taking bribes from wealthy donors all while he blocks our overtime pay and guts our healthcare. He used taxpayer dollars, your money, to pay for lavish trips to places like Aruba, South Africa and Iceland. That's why earlier today I called on Ken Paxton to return every penny of the three million dollars in taxpayer funds we use for these international vacations. This is the rot at the core of this broken system.
