Horse pucky. Don’t change the subject. I disapprove of corruption. Perry took money from Merck and then mandated the use of their product.
The legislature had to override his corrupt power-grab.
Do you approve of corruption?

A Perry donor applied for millions of dollars of taxpayer money, and Perry signed off on it, but kept it quiet. On the application, among other problems, 2 out of the 3 directors that were listed, were never directors of the company. The director that was a legitimate director, was a Perry donor. The two directors that were not actual directors, one had been a consultant to Perry's staff, the other worked on a council run out of the Governor's office. The legitimate director was listed as a good businessman, even though he had taken millions of taxpayer dollars in the past (also approved by Perry) for another company that ended up bankrupt.
And that latest little Perry scandal that came out this week, you can thank the Republican Attorney General for releasing the documents. I’m still not his biggest fan, but this is twice that he’s taken the side of taxpayers recently, so I’m starting to warm up to him. The company set up by Perry’s donor to get the millions in taxpayer dollars was fighting like mad to keep things quiet. Unfortunately they just received the rest of the millions this week!
