The Texas Ethics Commission has consistently ruled that it is unlawful for a judge to use campaign funds to pay for subscriptions like the Wall Street Journal.
In a recent decision by the Texas Ethics Commission it said,”…the reading of the Wall Street Journal is not necessary to maintaining a law license or fulfilling legal education requirements.

In addition, Judge John Donovan thought he was entitled to free XM Satellite Radio by billing his campaign $319.00.
