Officials with the Houston Independent School District have spent $100,000 in school vending machine money in the past five yeas on tickets a rodeo gala, The Houston Chronicle reported this morning.

Outgoing HISD Superintendent Abelardo Saavedra says there's nothing wrong with it, The Chronicle's Bill Murphy reports. Meanwhile, state Sen. Mario Gallegos, who is leading the charge to make the Houston Rodeo subject to the state open records law, wants more answers about the relationship between the rodeo and HISD.

HISD officials need to go to jail for abusing public funds. There is clearly criminal activity by government entities. I am sick of it and it is time to revolt.
