Perry was pushing for an end to sanctuary cities but the measure died in the legislature after big money came out against it.............don't remember anyone showing Perry killed it.

Well, Perry's not going to advertise on TV that he colluded with special interests to kill a reform measure.

Keep in mind, that a Repub governor has total control of a Repub legislature. He can do a lot of harm to them if they go against his wishes.

Apparently here---the legislature WAS doing Perry's wishes------ by killing the bill.

=============================================

Here's a clue: find out who was lobbying against the reform measure---then check and see what govt goody Perry rewarded the lobbyists with:

Appointments to choice committees? Their own govt agency? Grant$$ from the governor's office? Lucrative govt contracts? A policy change in Austin that benefitted someone's special interest?

You might also check legislators' campaign contributions --- that's a Big Clue as to who was colluding with who.

Keep in mind, that a Repub governor has total control of a Repub legislature.

Not in Texas. The Lt. Gov. has more power over the legislature.

Here's a clue: find out who was lobbying against the reform measure---then check and see what govt goody Perry rewarded the lobbyists with:

So in other words, a Perry donor came out against the sanctuary bill, so we are to assume that Perry was also against the bill.

Got any links for the two I asked you about?
