I can’t remember what its called in Texas but if I recall its acronym was “TEC”. Lots of money and tax breaks in return for promises of jobs to be created followed by lots of broken promises.

Its the same with the MEDC here in Michigan.

Two different funds- TEF and TETF, that Perry pushed and was funded for. Both riddled with examples of corporate crony payouts for jobs that never quite materialized to the numbers promised. Also, the state's wind farms debacle largely funded via the TETF.

Now the Texas Future Business Alliance- Many of the same players who feed from the TEF and TETF trough are pushing back against the Tea Party, who Perry wrapped his arms around to build his image as a presidential candidate.

The irony and duplicity runs deep.
