KEYE Investigative Report on Dawnna Dukes


by: Matt Glazer

Mon Feb 18, 2008 at 10:24 AM CST


Tonight at 10:00pm, investigative reporter Nanci Wilson of KEYE News will be airing an expose on Craddick Democrat, Dawnna Dukes.  Yesterday, KEYE teased the story repeatedly.  According to the previews aired yesterday, Dukes is running a defunct company that has accepted state dollars, her car has been repossessed, and subcontractors have sued her for non-payment.

Perhaps she couldn't find a way to pay those bills with her campaign credit card.

Tune in to KEYE Channel 42, or for cable subscribers on Channel 5 or in High Definition on 305 tonight at 10:00 to watch.

And remember, Dukes's opponent Brian Thompson is having his final fundraiser tonight from 5:30 to 7:30 at the Belmont on 6th.  We are only $300 away from getting the $1,000 match from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous until the 8 day out report.  Help raise $300 today.

Anyone have an idea Dukes defunct company name?

heard it through the grapevine ... (0.00 / 0)
she associated with a few sham companies that solicit contracts with the government (local, state, and federal levels) as a minority owned business and then she subcontracts all the work to legitimate contractors.  i've heard this is how she has been making her bread for a while now.

I wish I could have come up with this quote! (0.00 / 0)
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive!

Another quote (0.00 / 0)
that I think applies here is "Where there's smoke, there's fire".  It just continues to become more and more apparent that Ms. Dukes is ethically, ideologically and financially challenged.  I'm just glad that someone finally had the guts to stand up to her and shine a light on her misdeeds.
