1. His top advisor is intricately connected to TRMPAC, having been paid for with dirty money, and helped remind his hand picked candidates that their vote for Speaker of the House goes to Tom Craddick.

2. He has voted 10 times to raise Jacksonville's taxes. 

3. While he's for taxing small business, he'd like an exemption for businesses like his own in order to not pay taxes. 

4. Speaking of taxes, Larry Durrett chose not to pay taxes on the sale of his private airplane. 

5. Larry Durrett is a liar.  He's attacked Chuck Hopson's record with distorted votes and flat out falsehoods. 

6. Larry is for selling off East Texas resources to the highest bidder without regard to our own future. 

7. Larry Durrett has accepted money from James Leininger, as well as Tom Craddick's Stars Over Texas PAC.  Wonder where his loyalties lie?

8. We don't know where Larry stands on school vouchers that would take money out of public schools after taking money from Voucher supporting James Leininger.  Chuck's position has been unwavering.

9. Larry is trying to put House District 11 up for sale, taking over $750,000 in out of district money. 

10. Larry Durrett's son, and current staffer, Kenneth is endangering your family by driving drunk on the last weekend before the election.
