There is one very big black mark against Perry and that is the proposed Trans-Texas Corridor.
Mega big land grab and a huge target fot terrorist attacks.
It cost him the support of the TX Farm Bureau and other farm related groups since it was such a huge attempt at grabbing farm and ranch land for the project.
Plus it appeared to require a Spanish enginnering firm to do the project’s building and operation.
It has been stopped for the present, but it could be revived later on.
Yep. His biggest black mark, in my opinion.
However, there is also his dogged resistance to eminent domain reform. He was finally forced to sign new legislation this year, but only after the legislature became so Republican-heavy that they could override a veto.
Kelo Rick.
