It already was for a long time, with or without Perry. Thank goodness for biennual sessions and a weak Governor system.
Perry ping
Thanks for posting.
That may very well be true BUT Mr Perry has not shown to me in debates that he can lead this country better than other candidates.
This in the Houston Chronicle? Wow! The Chronicle is a liberal puke of a newspaper...
Fixed it for ya

They say everything in Texas is big, and that sure goes for its stature in business.
With the biggest point total in the history of our study, Texas posts a big victory as America’s Top State for Business 2010.
Perry’s best comment yet is that he would consider defunding the UN.
Oh man, how I would enjoy looking at those UN officals’ faces on night TV if that were to happen.
Hell, I could even vote for Huntsman if I could be sure that he would do it.
Texas continues to receive national accolades, including Site Selection Magazine’s 2010 Governor’s Cup for the most new and expanded corporate facilities announced over the year.
According to USA Today, Texas has moved past New York as the nation’s second largest economy, and the Wall Street Journal has credited the state’s low taxes and employer-friendly environment with helping make Texas the job creation capital of the nation.
Additionally, Texas is ranked as the top exporting state in the nation for the ninth year in a row, and Texas consistently ranks among the top states for Fortune 500 headquarters.

Yes he has.
Go Perry!
Under his three times governorship Texas the second largest state in the Union with a population of 25 millions is one of the most prosperous states in the country. It is Texas that has created almost 40% of the new jobs in the nation since 2009. This is the record that greatly qualifies someone to be a President.
Especially industries that use low-cost illegal aliens like Perry mega donors like Bob Perry Homebuilders and Pilgrim's Pride Poultry. No e-verify, Lone Star cards, in-state tuition for illegals and much more.
Remember the Alamo!!!

AUSTIN – Gov. Rick Perry, a frequent critic of Washington, DC, is turning his attention to an income tax vote in Washington state.
KVUE News has learned the governor sent a two page letter to 90 business leaders in The Evergreen State as an unabashed reminder that Texas has no income tax.

Illegal immigrant transportation industry?
Yep its pretty friendly to that industry!
“Perry has cut funding for clean air programs and sued the Environmental Protection Agency to avoid enforcing laws to make the air cleaner.”
Damn, the Comical hates Perry. Perry has an opinion regarding these enforcement actions, but his suits have little to do with any opposition to ‘making the air cleaner.’ Instead, he’s fighting to keep industry alive in the face of what would otherwise be crippling environmental regulations. I don’t like the guy, but that press bias is just staggering.
There is one very big black mark against Perry and that is the proposed Trans-Texas Corridor.
Mega big land grab and a huge target fot terrorist attacks.
It cost him the support of the TX Farm Bureau and other farm related groups since it was such a huge attempt at grabbing farm and ranch land for the project.
Plus it appeared to require a Spanish enginnering firm to do the project’s building and operation.
It has been stopped for the present, but it could be revived later on.
My son and his family live right outside Houston in Webster, TX. I love visiting them, not just because they’re my family, but because of the area in which they live. If I didn’t have other children and grandchildren living near me right now, I’d pack up and move there in a heartbeat.
