That's all you need to know.
I talked to a lady who sells homes for Perry Homes in Houston a few weeks after Perry died. I asked her who was running the company and without hesitation she said “Bob Perry.”
I said “I thought he died.” She looked like a deer caught in the head lights and did not respond. He may be dead but he’s “still there”.
I’ve known several people who used to work there and they all said working at Perry Homes was like working for a military organization. And the people there acted like brainwashed prisoners.
That agency he got Perry to create was TRNRC or something like that. We called it train wreck. One thing it did was made it illegal to build your own home. And that’s the truth.
I've always believed that people like Perry should be able to offer as much money as they want to elections. HOWEVER, if either the donor or the pol show any profit from any legislation, ever, they die, screaming, with their families, dog, cats, pigs, horses, their house burned, their property looted, bank accounts dumped into the general fund.
We'd either have more honest elected officials, or better and MUCH more cautious crooks.
