AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Travis County prosecutors say in a court filing that state Rep. Dawnna Dukes spent more than $51,000 on an online psychic, appeared for work at the Capitol impaired and hid a cellphone from investigators. The filing this week was provided by prosecutors ahead of her Oct. 16 misdemeanor corruption trial and is meant to inform Dukes' attorneys of the allegations prosecutors will assert during the trial. The Austin Democrat is accused of giving a taxpayer-funded raise to a legislative aide to cover gas money for shuttling Dukes' daughter back and forth from school.

This just sounds stupid. If you want to bill the people for psychic consultants you should at least have them come into the office.

Seems like for $51k, she should have known this was going to happen.

The nutjobs in Austin are so plentiful now it takes a real gem to make the news like this.

Congrats, Dawnna.

How did the psychic not tell her she was going to get caught?
