Texas Monthly - Perry & the firings of the Texas Tech regents

Written by: Jessica Behnham

The Hutchison campaign sent out this broadside against the governor today for his office’s action in demanding the resignations of two Texas Tech regents for their support of Kay Bailey Hutchison: “The message is clear for every single dedicated public servant in Texas: Either pledge support for Rick Perry or risk losing your job. This latest Perry power grab would make any New York City machine politician jealous. Texans deserve a leader they can trust not to use state government like their own personal political playground. Tuition is skyrocketing but Rick Perry’s sole concern is how he can use Texas’ colleges and universities to raise campaign cash.”
