>> Can anyone say Strauss and the Chamber of Commerce?
Yeah, although I don’t call him “Strauss” and I don’t call them the “Chamber of Commerce”. I use different terms... but I don’t want to get banned so I’ll keep them to myself.
I, too, have other names for Strauss and the Chamber. I do try to refrain from using what my grandson calls “grandma language” some of the time though.
Perry did many good things while he was Governor, particularly when compared to other states. However, he was, IMO, way left on issues dealing with illegals - in-state tuition, funding social welfare programs such as healthcare, education (lots of ESL classes added), food stamps, and housing and allowing businesses to hire illegals rather than American citizens.
The jury is still out on the issue of ever increasing property taxes for homeowners and I have asked my local Senator and Representative - who both are insurance agents - for a financial report on the Wind Insurance fund. Both continue to escalate beyond belief and my property taxes and mandatory wind insurance premium total more than my house payment.
