Rick Perry’s Texas Miracle – NOT

(Community Matters) in the Huffington Post. Glad to see folks are starting to poke around. In Texas . . . where good paying jobs have been replaced by minimum wage, most new jobs are low-paying service sector (oil & gas industry notwithstanding), our high school drop out rate is the highest in the country, we have the highest uninsured rate among states, and Tx state & municipal debt is growing faster than national debt – doesn’t signal a miracle as much as a sell out.

Add reports businessmen have to make contributions to Perry’s campaign, the state party, the Governors Association or even buy copies of his book to win appointments or do business with the state . . .  I’m looking forward to the deep dive examination of our governance.
