Pulling the trump card.

Did Governor Perry pull the trump card? Me thinks he did.

He has now threatened the legislature with a special session to fix what he considers are problems with HB1892. So, does King Perry believe that his options are now open to keeping the legislature in session until they give him legislation he agrees with? That's dirty politics if I've ever seen it. Let's hope lawmakers don't bow to his pressure.

Here is the story in the Austin American Statesman.

Make no mistake about it. Perry is not interested in avoiding what he calls 'very bad public policy for the state'. He is simply trying to protect his baby, private toll road contracts, which will amount to large and continuous campaign contributions.
