Sorry all this BS is due to Perry’s action to bring comprehensive Tort reform. All the Ambulance chaser, and PI whores are hurting. The ABA knows that if Perry gets in Office their gravey train is going to be limited.
From Texans for Lawsuit reform:
Perry’s Leadership Seen In Passage of Omnibus Tort Reform Bill & TWIA ReformsGovernor Rick Perry’s leadership was critical to the passage of HB 274, the Omnibus Tort Reform Bill of 2011, and the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association Reform Bill. The Governor is rightly known as the strongest pro-tort reform governor in the nation.
Governor Perry’s commitment to lawsuit reform and a fair and predictable civil justice system has been strong throughout his time in public office:
» Perry backed reforms in 1999 to prevent the repetition of abuses that allowed former Texas Attorney General Dan Morales, who served time in federal prison, to award $3 billion in fees to a few trial lawyers.
» Perry provided leadership in the passage of the comprehensive 2003 reforms that curbed abuses in numerous areas of litigation, including medical liability and class actions, and made improvements in other areas of the law, including venue and appeals bonds.
» Medical liability reforms passed in 2003 continue to bring new doctors to Texas, assuring that Texans have access to doctors and health care in communities across the state. Institutional savings from medical liability insurance costs totals $100 million annually. This has been invested in a wide range of new health programs, from diabetes prevention clinics to electronic records.
» Perry worked for the landmark reforms in 2005 that curtailed abusive asbestos and silica lawsuits, which the Wall Street Journal called “The Great Asbestos Scam,” and which a federal judge referred to as “lawsuits manufactured for money.”
» Perry supported a critical lawsuit reform in 2007 that closed a loophole in state venue law that had created an avalanche of abusive lawsuits against the dredging industry; those lawsuits were threatening Texas’ critical maritime industry.
» Perry consistently appoints exemplary judges to Texas courts who are honest, competent and conservative. Lawsuit reform encourages business growth and expan- sion, strengthens productivity and increases innovation. The lawsuit reforms that Gov. Perry has championed have played a key role in job growth and boosting the state’s overall economy. Recent economic news continues to demonstrate that the Texas economy is the strongest in the nation.
» In June, USA Today reported that 262,000 new jobs had been created in Texas, “or half the USA’s 562,000 payroll gains.” Payroll growth was 2.9% in Texas while the national growth rate remained at 0.4%.
I’LL TAKE PERRY’S HARD WORK OVER BACHMANNS “CRAZY” SHENANIGANS ANY DAY.
BTW WHAT REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUES HAS BACHMANN EVER MADE A REAL DIFFERENCE.
All those well educated illegals endorse Perry.
