For you Texans,
I live in NY, but in the late '70's or possibly early '80's I distinctly remember a court case going on where someone in TX had been getting kickbacks for buying snow removal equipment. Obviously this was not needed. However, during the trial, there was a snowstorm that laid down a few inches, and of course the lawyer for the defense jumped right on that. "Your Honor, please look out the window. Obviously my client was just being proactive......" ;-)
I never heard about the outcome. I suppose if they had good evidence of the actual kickbacks that he was toast anyway.
