Texans Governing Texas: Perry: local leadership, not Washington, creates good state economy
  
|
By Lucretia Cardenas
A balanced budget and a good economy are results of the ability to make sacrifices, and Gov. Rick Perry says he’s the one who knows how to make them.
Speaking to an exceptionally large crowd at the Conroe Noon Lions Club’s weekly meeting, Perry, the longest-serving Texas governor who is seeking a third four-year term in office, touted the state’s ability to create new jobs and establish a business-friendly environment when the rest of the nation is facing debt and job loss.
He applauded state Rep. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe, for his work on a resolution that sent a “powerful message” that “Texans know how to run Texas,” Perry said.
He took a slight jab at Washington D.C. politicians about spending too much and not being in touch with local needs, but he didn’t make any direct attacks against his March primary opponent U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Dallas. However, Perry is setting himself up as the anti-Washington candidate.
On Wednesday he credited himself and the other conservative legislators’ ability to cut spending and balance the budget without raising taxes in 2003 as the stepping stone for Texas’ current good economy. He complemented the Legislature for passing a balance budget yet again this year.
“I don’t think we’re getting it right in Washington D.C.,” Perry said. “It’s spending money that hasn’t even been earned yet.”
Spending less requires sacrifices, Perry said, but he believes this is possible if government tries to govern less. He commended the Conroe Noon Lions Club for its involvement in the community and said the group is an example of sacrifice as well.
Also Wednesday, Perry’s campaign announced that Perry raised $4.2 million in the nine days following the Legislative session. His total on-hand cash is now at $9.3 million.
To add to his war chest, Perry will have soon-to-be former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin campaigning for his re-election. Palin resigned in a surprise announcement last week before completing her first term in office.

Palin is also helping him campaign in Texas.

Palin seems to have done a good job along the way
Of course ya never know about people who put ann richards into the Governor's mansion, sent sylvester turner to Austin and named part of an airport and a downtown building after a convicted felon - mickey leland - sort of Texas' version of D.C.'s "marion barry" syndrome "

let's see ... under Gov Perry we now have the Texas Lottery being owned by an Italian Corporation and Texas public roads being transformed into Toll Roads owned by a Spanish Corporation ...
As of today, there is no evidence whatsoever that Texas lottery monies is going to the Texas Education system ... none.... and that's because of GTech, the Italian Corporation that owns our Texas lottery, ... which deposits the monies in the General Fund, ..to be used by however special interest groups want their 'paid for' legislators to act on ..

As for as the lotto, .. if you ck out the state of Georgia, which owns its state lotto system outright, every highschool senior with a B average or better gets to go to college for free for 4 yrs, it's called the Hope Scholarships, which work from and thru lottery monies ..
Georgia is now in the low teens in education while under Perry Texas has moved to 48th or 49th, . .. depending on which data you use ..
Perry is not a conservative, neither was his predecessor, .. they are both NeoCons , .. Corporatists

" Perry inherited a $10B deficit when he came into office and that deficit is now $0. There is now $10B in reserve with the current balanced budget. Can Georgia say that? Look at California, they are going the way of the federal government and implementing "Change" to the effect of Trillions of dollars in deficit. And you think our border is bad - look at the wide open door to California. Writing in Mickey or Donald on your ballot -- thats intelligent -- thats how we ended up with the current federal government. Everybody and their "I want change" mentality will make this country a third world country that is so far in debt that everyone will have to rely on the government to live instead of just the current folks that have "earned" their lifetime of free government money. Leave me my money, my job, and my freedom and keep the "change". "

He was right on the money about Washington...the problem is all the liberals that want to "give, give, spend & spend"...
I feel for Palin too-it is sad that she resigned...I don't blame her though-her family was under attack which was BS! "

He met with Fidel Castro a dozen times, saying that although he disagreed with President Castro's ''fundamental ideology,'' he respected the Cuban leader ''for his intellect.'' On a visit to Cuba last October, Mr. Leland negotiated the release of three political prisoners and their families. Your jaded twist on his work is unnecessary. Regardless of what A-holes politicians are, some stumble into doing good work once in a while, despite party affiliation. "

For the record: the late Congressman Mickey Leland was never convicted of any felony. So far as I know, he was never convicted of anything. The TSU administration filed charges against him and others during his student activist days, but they withdrew those charges and he later became a member of the university's pharmacy faculty. He and several others (including other congressmen, I think) were arrested at least once during protests at the South African Embassy in Washington while he was in Congress, but no charges were filed. He made no secret of the fact that he did NOT share ideology with Castro, but that he WAS interested in the infant mortality advances made in Cuba after Castro came to power. The political prisoners he got Castro to release were American CIA agents. His plane was not shot down. He died -- along with 15 others -- while on an international food relief mission to refugee camps in Ethiopia when their plane flew into stormy weather and hit the side of a mountain in zero visibility.
