Horse fecesPerry is the living caricature of what every liberal thinks a Republican is—a sellout to big business interests.
Gov. Goodhair knows he’ll never face the voters of Texas again, so he’s free to stab them in the back and collect his payoffs from corporations, both foreign and domestic, that may want Grandpa’s ranch for their headquarters.
Yep! And even worse, in my opinion, Is the fact that the major entities (Texas Assoc. of Counties, Texas Municipal League) lobbing for this veto used YOUR tax money against you in their effort.
Cant’ have a pesky little thing like Emminent Domain reform getting in the way of the Trans-Texas Corridor.
is this veto proof?
I am proud to have voted for Kinky.....the first time I have ever not voted for a Republican in Texas.
There must be something in the water in Texas that makes a setting governor of Texas and an immediate past governor of Texas ignore the will of the people. They seem to act like Mexican dictators.
Maybe they find that form of government more to their liking than the one our founding fathers constructed.
Perry was just at a Council on Foreign Relations meeting....just not too long ago. He must have gotten his orders....you know, from that "innocent" little group.

“’With this veto, Governor Perry has left every home, farm, ranch and small business owner vulnerable to the abuse of eminent domain,’ said Steven Anderson, director of the Institute for Justice’s Castle Coalition, a national grassroots advocacy group committed to ending the private-to-private transfer of property using eminent domain.”
When the pigs take over Animal Farm, they don’t want anything - or anyone - getting in their way, and democracy be d*mned.
California's eminent domain initiative was defeated, with Arnold pointedly not endorsing it. Why? Because it would have limited "takings" due to things like enviralmental regs, which remove a landowner's use of property without actually condemning and buying it from him. The Green lobby and Land developers formed a devil's deal to defeat it.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting. Thanks to all contributors to this thread.
How would USSC decision about a Connecticut case possibly affect Texas seeing that Texas has had a whole different deal since the beginning.
Of course I can understand why he'd veto this. His pet project I-69 from hell would be essentially a private property enterprise.
ROFL
LOOKS like OKLAHOMA is holding its ground as a constitutional republic while TEXAS is a constant struggle to be a republic. HOW about it TEXANS? ARE you gonna let the PERYS and HUTCISONS destroy our country and liberties?
