Maine jet crash links Houston law firm donors to Texas tort-reform battles
TL;DR
Six people aboard a private jet registered to Houston-based Arnold & Itkin law firm were killed in a takeoff crash in Bangor, Maine, while NTSB investigators probe the cause; the flight’s registration at the firm’s address is highlighted due to the firm’s aggressive political fundraising for Texas tort-reform opponents through PACs like Texans For Truth and Liberty, which have backed candidates such as Marc LaHood.
