It was great to hear Rick Perry's intentions to run for Governor based upon his record.
After Perry championed insurance reform on behalf of the insurance industry home insurance rates doubled with less coverage and higher deductibles. Texas now has the highest rates in the nation second to Louisiana by 25%. After Perry championed extreme limits on medical malpractice lawsuits and massive tort reform on behalf of the insurance industry, health care and insurance rates have risen with absolutely no relief for the consumer.
Under Perry's leadership the Republican controlled House and Senate could not resolve the funding issue for our public schools, but after 4 special sessions, he did manage to pass a bill to increase his own tax funded pension by $6000/year.
Property taxes are higher, wages are lower, health insurance is becoming scarce, car insurance is on the rise, college costs have skyrocketed by over 30%, electricity and gas has increased, gasoline is still over $2/gallon, and Texas has sunk below Mississippi in many categories including education, health care, and services for the needy.
So, if Rick Perry wants to run on his record, I got three words for him "Bring it on!"
