Trans-Texas Corridor PING!
R or d?
“Curtis said the two main reasons for seeking Perry’s impeachment is his continuing push for the Trans-Texas Corridor toll road from Laredo to Oklahoma despite citizen opposition and his veto of $154 million in funds for junior colleges.”
Bully for Perry for vetoing some govt spending.
The TTC is on life support and his TxDOT minions have already been neutered by the last session.
This is pointless go-nowhere political whining. If Perry was so bad he would have been un-elected last Nov. Democracy does work. Perry got re-elected despite the TTC issue, which he deserved to be dumped on big-time, because the Dems are just horrible on so many other issues.
Just to annoy this person, I’ll go head off to a fundraiser where Perry is the speaker.
Impeach someone because they disagree with him. That’s a novel concept. Must have learned it from Henry Gonzalez.
THIS IS THE SINGLE BEST REASON FOR IMPEACHING PERRY:

It appears Perry is trying to influence the measures or conduct of Mexico WRT disputes or controversies with the United States, and/or trying to defeat the measures of the United States in collusion with the Mexican government.
BACKUP In June 2007, Representative Steve King introduced legislation that would prohibit Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi from traveling to Syria and violated The Logan Act. The amendment was not adopted. The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years.
