Oh please---Perry is cozy with all the special interests. One of 'em even got his own regulatory agency ---- in exchange for a big donation to Ricky.
Checkout the report ---- "The Governor's Gusher" ----which delineates the ways Ricky and the boys are all in bed together.
Ricky has one neat little trick---wherein he opines on a bill WRT the real concerns of Texans---then cues the Big Boys to lobby the legislature to defeat the bill. All of 'em are amply rewarded for helping out.
Trusting Texans dont know what hit 'em---and commiserate with a governor "betrayed" by an evil legislature.
That's how they rock and roll in Texas.
And you expect anything else from a Texas governor? Was the same with Ann Richards, except her inner-circle was slightly different. Fact is Of the big three, Lt. Gov,, Gov, and Speaker, Perry is the most conservative. Furthermore, there is no conservative majority in the legislature. Twenty more conservative legistators and we have a different Speaker, and then maybe you get co-operation from Perry. But I am throwing no rocks at Perry so long as we have who we have as LtG. Need to work to get Cruz in place in as US Senator But don’t expect miracles.
