AUSTIN, TEXAS--A grand jury is expected to be called to investigate allegations that Texas Gov. Rick Perry abused his power when he vetoed funding for the Travis County District Attorneys office as part of the state budget.
The veto came after Perry urged the DA to resign following an April 2013 drunk-driving incident for which she pled guilty and served time in jail, according to the Dallas Morning News.
KVUE-TV reported that Perry has hired a criminal defense lawyer.

The demtards may be in smaller number in TX but they sure play hardball
Criminal charges??? For cripe’s sake Texans... do somethign about this?
Looks like she shouldn’t have the job. Governor Perry did the right thing. Dems: The criminal’s best friends.
Best mugshot ever.
The teflon Dem DA in Austin

And in the neighboring state of New Mexico, the filthy black robes...err, I mean judges are suing governor Martinez for vetoing an 8% judicial pay raise.
This whole “grand jury” ploy is a Nothingburger.
A Governor has the right to veto legislation — period.
Just following in the foot steps of Ann Richards.
Dems-She may be a stinkin’ drunk but she is our stinkin’ drunk!
No Parole
Not eligible for Clinton post-POTUS pardon
This is The Travis County that went after Thomas DeLay. That conviction was overturned and he was talking about suing them. Seems like they pick some winners as DA there.
Dems always seem to play hardball and the GOPe wants to go out for drinks. For Rats, it is war, for pubbies, it is a gentleman's game where reaching across the aisle (or reach arounds) is more prized than victory.
Laz, I’ll let you have this one. She’s all yours!
I can only speak for myself, but I’ve always felt being drunk was doing a disservice to alcohol. You can have a few drinks and enjoy the taste or the feeling, but once you cross that line you may as well just be pouring it down the toilet without consuming it. In addition to wasting it, many just make a fool of themselves. Now a mean drunk, which it appears this fool DA is, just ticks me off. I would use her video and mug shot over and over if I was her opposition. Few people can stomach a mean, elitist drunk
I’m trying to see whats wrong with Rick’s actions here. Can’t see it.
Looks like she’s making loud farty noises for the camera.
I agree with Gov. Perry’s veto - I also believe he would be a good POTUS if only he could handle debates better. But for economics, defense, having a strong conservative core - he would stand tall in the saddle.
