ROSEMARY LEHMBERG BOOKING FOOTAGE FROM TRAVIS COUNTY JAIL
Lehmberg [pictured], the first woman and first openly gay District Attorney in Travis County, runs the state’s Public Integrity Unit (PIU) which is charged with investigating wrongdoing by state officials. After her arrest and guilty plea for a drunk driving incident in April 2013, Perry called on her to resign and threatened to withhold $7.2 million in state money from the PIU if she refused.
Lehmberg refused and Perry carried through with his veto threat.
