Why are you defending him? By passing this Executive Order, Perry not only bypassed the Texas Legislature, but more importantly, he rode roughshod over the right of parents to decide what's best for their children. He had no right and no reason to do this. It amounted to tyranny. Do we want yet another tyrant in charge of all 50 states?
The EO was the only real issue.
Perry himself said it was wrong and it was struck down.
What more do you want from him on the matter?
Obama has been a trillion times worse and his legislation still stands.
BTW is is hard to “actually govern” for a decade without stepping in something or other.
Wrong.
Perry made vaccines available at no cost by putting them on the mandatory list while preserving the opt out provisions.
