His biggest donor has been Bob Perry (no relation), Texas largest homebuilder. Perry established the Texas Residential Construction Commission. The main purpose of TRCC was to place roadblocks in the way of taking homebuilders to court for defects. A senior VP for Bob Perry Homebuilders helped write the regulations and later was appointed a TRCC member.
The commission finally ceased to exist through a sunset law in 2009. In most places Perry would be called corrupt and dishonest. In Texas, he's just a “good ol’ boy.”
By your definition, anyone that can beat Obama is corrupt. Whatever. Going to suck to be you 11/2012.
