Convicted wifebeater and Dallas School Board Member Ron Price has found himself in the doghouse over inappropriate contributions made to his campaign account by a large vendor to the Dallas Independent School District.  According to a Dallas Morning News Investigative Report [1], three senior executives at Houston-based Micro Systems Enterprises, including the President of the company, gave Price $25,000.

Micro Systems Engineering has been the recipient of contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars from DISD.

Price claims he didn't know the three men, last fall, when the contribution was made. Asked why he thought MSE's president would give him $25,000, Price replied: "he's a great guy, I'm a good guy."
