Governor Sanford is not the only brilliant member of the GOP.
from Houston Chronicle's ALAN BERNSTEIN
Gov. Rick Perry today told the federal government that Texas doesn’t want $555 million to expand benefits for the unemployed in exchange for widening the program to include part-time workers.
The Legislature can decide to accept the money, but Perry said the state has repeatedly rejected the idea of paying unemployment to part-time workers.
The Legislature is controlled by Perry’s fellow Republicans.
That is pretty impressive Governor Perry.
I must say you and your SC counterpart are writing your own attack ads.
Good luck with that.
by the way, i thought this article from 2008 was pertinent.
Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday vowed that the fire-scorched Texas Governor's Mansion would be completely rebuilt "whatever it costs."
Historical architects have said museum-quality restorations of similar properties have cost upward of $20 million.
Lawmakers said they couldn't imagine not finding the money.
But he is rejecting money?
You know,Gov. Perry, you could take the Stimulus money to hire unemployed people to work on the Mansion...
