Tort reform yeah we are all for it. What we got was doctors pocketing the money instead of passing saving along.

LOL! The purpose of tort reform was to keep doctors from fleeing Texas, as many obstetricians were threatening to do.

At no time did anybody say you were going to get rebates from your physician.

Property Tax Reform - yeah we are all for it. What we got was teacher pay raises and no tax reduction to speak of.

What you got was a reduction in the tax rate from $1.50 per thousand dollars valuation to $1.00 per thousand. You did get teacher pay raises (something favored by the vast majority of Texas voters), and a fairer distribution of the business tax.

Perry will win because he deserves to win and because his opponents are clueless dolts.

Tort reform did not reduce malpractice in Texas only reduced the lawsuits. It's a one sided tort reform with flaws that did not improve health care in Texas. Do you realize that Texas is a magnet for "bad" doctors from other states.

The rate but how about when I write the check, we shall see when the statement come in.
