DeLay associates indicted again

By John Moritz

Star-Telegram Austin Bureau


AUSTIN - Additional indictments were handed up Tuesday against two associates of U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, this time accusing the pair of conspiring to violate Texas election laws on behalf of several Republican candidates during the 2002 campaign.

Jim Ellis, one of DeLay's top political aides in Washington, and Austin resident John Colyandro, who three years ago ran the majority leader's Texas political action committee, were also accused of additional violations of law prohibiting corporate campaign contributions.

Nearly a year ago, Ellis, Colyandro and DeLay associate Warren Robold were indicted on charges that they had circumvented the laws barring corporate campaign contributions in their zeal to orchestrate the successful GOP takeover of the Texas House.

Last week, Earle announced the indictment of two high-profile organizations on charges that they, too, skirted the ban on corporate contributions.
