“Also likely doomed is a Perry-backed program extending in-state university tuition to the children of immigrants in the country illegally,”
Good. One of the dumbest things he ever did.
Don’t worry. Wendy will fix everything.
Of all the things not being done in this country, failure to fund legitimate infrastructure projects is the one that worries me most.
This article is incoherent.
I guess writers seek to confuse voters and to explain the republican divide to their fellow libs.
they must think Tea Partyers are as confused and weak without talking points as libs are.
How disappointed they will continue to be.
Perry is OK. His conservatism is not dependable.
Here’s a true situation:
A military family, of whom there are many in Texas, has high school kids when the sponsor/father retires. Not sure where they would end up, they maintain their residency in their home of record. On retirement, the oldest goes to college and dad then claims Texas as a residence. Not anticipating, or just putting up with the resulting out of state tuition for two years before being able to claim in state rates.
It’s a ton of dough.
The illegals don’t have to pay out of state tuition for two years. THey get it right away.
The military guy has dragged this group all over asia, left them alone for about three years added up with deployments, and all the other accoutrements of military life, serving his country, lived as a most contributory and lawful member of texas society, and he has to pay thousands extra where illegals pay nothing.
That is a very typical treatment of the non white Hispanic favoritism that thrives to push veterans aside.
And Perry’s face is all over it.
He wants a lot of out of staters to go to Texas. For what? Money? Will they bring a lot of liberal thought with them, turning Texas blue, ensuring permanence in the White House of what was once the Democrat party? English as a second language?
This article says nothing of that very real struggle.
And this is most definitely not a contest between wendy davis and Greg Abbott. She can’t even get the backing of democrat voters.
Apparently no good deed goes unpunished.
After the left dismantles Perry’s good projects .. the left will then turn them around as fuel to discredit Perry (showing what terrible things he did) .. so what else is new ..??
I hope people are ready for this.
The corporate hand outs I can do without
Interesting how the mass media is more Democrat propaganda but less competent year over year.
This article is an anti-Perry smear piece, but so incoherent and poorly written, that you wonder why they bother.
What’s the purpose behind doing away with the rainy day fund? To me that just seems prudent to have something stashed away in the event of an economic downturn causing a revenue shortfall. The Texas budget is about $100 billion and the rainy day fund represents about 8% of that. That doesn’t sound excessive
