I’ve lived in Texas twice: stationed at Fort Hood from 1979-81 and lived & worked in Fort Worth after Katrina destroyed my business in Biloxi. We are working on getting Mrs. 2ndDivisionVet transferred back to D/FW. I like Texas a lot. The real estate deals and the variety of stores, alone, makes D/FW better than most places. I just think it’ll look bad to some people in these hard times.
And we’ll be glad to have you if you make it back to Texas.
As long as Perry properly explains the situation (with way less arrogance than I did) and outlines the costs of other options, they’ll see that we chose a reasonable option to enable him to run the state’s business.
We have to compete with California and New York and we do so at far less expense to our taxpayers.
