I think Perry has 11,000 bills to sign or veto before monday.
He doesn’t have to sign for them to become law in this special legislation.
The fact that he took the time and the political stance to attach his name to these laws makes me admire him.
He could have ducked this and still had it become law.
He can veto to block, but he could say nothing and the law will pass.
By signing he is making a political statement that he endorses the law.
Good for Perry
Agreed, I think most things always evolve, and I think Perry has done just that. Heck, I was at the first Tea Party event in Austin in 09 and so was Perry and Williams.
I see some folks posting that he is an “open borders” guy, but I don’t see that. Maybe I’m wrong. What I do see is him putting state resources on the border including Rangers, Wardens, Troopers, and working with the Sheriff’s dept’s. Hell, it’s not the job of the states to protect the nations borders.
Is he perfect? Well, I guess not, but neither am I. I think the Guardisil argument is a red herring, along with the TTC. Neither one came to fruition.
Interesting times we live in. We’ll see how it shakes out.
