California and our Governor is the butt of jokes and campaigning in Texas.
We are being used as to why our high taxes, bad policies, job killing government is NOT what Texans want. And who does the GOP Texas Governor Perry blame? Arnold Schwarzenegger.
After reading this article in there anything said by Gov.Perry that is incorrect? "In stops around Texas, the governor brags on how he is wooing firms from California and selling the advantages of lawsuit caps, a balanced budget, low regulation and limited taxes.
He recently told a crowd celebrating the Greater El Paso Chamber of Commerce that he is "proud that El Paso is the first impression that people who are packing up and leaving California have when they come into the state of Texas."
"Perry likes to note that while states such as California were slashing, Texas lawmakers wrote the state's current budget without raising taxes or dipping into the Rainy Day Fund. He doesn't mention the state's heavy reliance on federal economic stimulus funds.
And Perry supports one of the very provisions that has hamstrung California lawmakers. California's constitution requires two-thirds approval by lawmakers to adopt state budgets or raise taxes. Perry has recently recommended a similar super-majority rule in Texas for tax increases."
Any wonder Texas is doing better than we are?
