This is designed to cover up Sanders' own record He attacks the Senator's attendance record, yet, during a four-year period when Sanders was serving in the Legislature, he missed 266 votes in 224 legislative days, as reported by The Dallas Morning News. Sanders voted three times against ethics and reform measures, including a critical vote against an ethics amendment that re- quired legislators to disclose their sources of income. If the disclosure proposal had been passed, instead of being killed with the aid of Barefoot Sanders, the Sharpstown bank fraud and scandal probably never would have happened. When the Sharpstown case broke open last year, according to the federal court docket of January 22,1971, Sanders was the attorney of record for the former Speaker of the House with whom he served in the Legislature.
