Ex-Judge Vickers Cunningham of Dallas; scofflaw; moron, ethical gnome
Up through 2006, Judge Vickers Cunningham sat on the 283rd District Court in Dallas.
Texas Election laws prohibit the use of campaign funds for personal use. Put simply, campaign funds can only be spent on official officeholder duties and/or for legitimate campaign purposes.
From late 2005 through May 2005, Judge Vickers Cunningham spent $1,043.02 in campaign funds to remodel the bathroom in his courtroom. Those charges are set forth below.
It would be laughable to the nth degree for Judge Vickers Cunningham to argue that these expenditures were related to official judicial duties or official campaign related activities.
Clearly spending over $1,000 to redecorate his chambers bathroom was a personal choice; therefore, in my opinion it was an illegal act.
