Mesquite, TX will not even enforce their own documented travel policies against violators consisting of some former and current (2009) council and staff. Although notified in 2005 of a possible irregularity, it took the recent release of an SEC investigation of their bond firm to force repayment of travel & entertainment of family members and extended duration the members forced the company to accept on their behalf and treat as expenses of the sale of bonds. Just perform a search on "mesquite tx council travel". The citizenry was so engaged, they just reelected the Mayor and a councilmember who were required to repay!
