Texas ethics regulators cracked down Thursday on a loophole in a revolving-door lobbying law, potentially exposing one prominent ex-lawmaker to fines. But the Texas Ethics Commission plainly disapproved of that tactic Thursday as it signed off on a new advisory opinion. The vote was unanimous. The opinion did not name Paddie and does not carry any immediate consequences for him. But it strengthens a complaint that was filed against him last month, and it makes clear he could face fines of $5,000 or triple “the amount at issue,” which could be at least six figures in Paddie’s case.
