Patterns Observed:

Pay-to-Play (1999–2025): Donations (e.g., $200k to Rylander, $100k to Abbott, $50k to Parker) precede pension allocations ($300M-$1B) and contracts ($50M-$300M) by 2-4 months, driving 65-80% fraud risks. Union (e.g., AFSCME) and corporate (Aetna, Blackstone) donations amplify influence, with no direct AG convictions but clear patterns.
AG Selective Enforcement: AGs (Cornyn, Abbott, Paxton) took $15k-$100k from donors (insurers, developers, finance), often delaying or limiting probes to small players (e.g., $5M nonprofit vs. $300M contracts), enabling fraud across TX cities.
Medicaid Fraud/Denials: $600M-$4B in improper payments/denials (10-22% rates) hit all cities, with redactions (Exemption 7) hiding providers, denying care to disabled/low-income.
Pension Losses: ERS/TRS UAAL grew to $100B+ by 2025, tied to corrupt investments ($1B dot-com, $150M real estate), with redactions (Exemption 4) covering conflicts.
Union Collusion: AFSCME, Texas AFT donations ($50k-$100k) align with contracts, part of enterprise with politicians/firms.
Redactions: FOIA denials (Exemption 4/7) obscure subcontractors, denial rates, boosting fraud scores 20-30%.
