Earlier news reports say Anita Perry's $60,000-a-year salary at the Austin "nonprofit" "Texas Association Against Sexual Assault" comes indirectly from Gov. Perry's political donors, state contractors and companies that do business with the state or have issues before the Legislature.
Of 37 major donors during Anita Perry's tenure as fundraiser, ONLY three have NO ties to the governor or state business.
Anita Perry is paid from the "nonprofit" money pool that includes political contributions. TAAS also receives grants from state agencies........AND the governor's office.
Donating to the TAASA seems to be another way Rick Perry dreamed up for those with an interest in state government to influence Gov Perry.
Non-profits are notorious money-laundering vehicles. State grants to a "non-profits" could be easily laundered especially w/ a tight-lipped family member at the helm.
Have you also conducted similar inquiries into leftist schemes of this nature?
Correct. She certainly was when she nursed my grandfather before he died. I have seen some attempts by "journalists" to criticise her because she does not smile enough. (that was a transplant "journalist" not a native) If you want a fight, just say something bad about Anita in front of my father. He is almost 86 but you might just make his day and ruin yours for that.
I live 15 miles from Rick Perry's parents. Have never met Rick (he is a few years younger than I) but have met his parents. Both of our families have lived/farmed in Haskell county since the late 1880's.
Rick is not perfect and has taken some boneheaded positions before, but the Perry haters here are off base.
I swear, I’d support Ron Paul and even that Democrat twit Huntsman ahead of stupid, corrupt and dishonest Perry at this point.
What kind of piker salary is this? She better talk to the Dems to find out how to get a real 6 or 7 figure salary out of this! ;-)
Anita Perry could make much more than this in the private sector. Did it ever occur to you that this is a worthwhile cause that she supports.
Imagine that, she makes less money than she could elsewhere for a worthwhile cause. She should be publicly flogged.
