Current Revolt scores for Texas voters with the resignation of now former state representative Bryan Slaton. The Dallas based media company was the first to drop details about Slaton publicly.
Bryan Slaton is a former pastor and now former politician. Slaton resigned from office on Monday trying to head off an expulsion vote which happened anyway unanimously removing him from office.
Slaton represented the 2nd District in the Texas House of Representatives from 2021 to 2023. A member of the Republican Party, Slaton also works for his family business, Slaton Financial Services.
Issues started for Slaton when Tony Ortiz’s Current Revolt began investigating rumors that Slaton had an affair with a nineteen year old intern in his office.
They turned out to be true leading to a house committee recommending Slaton’s removal from office.
Since that time, Current Revolt has not been credited with being the original reporter of the story on Slaton. They have been accused of spreading rumors – which they clearly substantiated before going to press.
This was clearly a win for a free press to look into the behavior of elected leadership.
The one angle that still exists right now is that Current Revolt may have its eyes set on another state legislator for the same issue.
It would be an awkward position to vote to expel a member if you were guilty of the same or similar behavior.
The committee report on general investigating of the Slaton issue is below.
Other Side Dallas will be watching to see what Current Revolt turns up next.
Current Revolt Scores – Again
Slaton is not Current Revolt’s only success.
Current Revolt also reported on the arrest of the Texas Right to Life Political Director.
Luke Bowen was arrested for solicitation of a minor.
While Texas Right to Life is still active the comment “right to implode” seems apropos if they are that lax in hiring practices.
