OK, McCrum issued an indictment because Lehmberg, who oversees the same unit that led the investigation against former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay was handed a ethics complaint (no actual evidence of a crime) from the left-leaning Texans for Public Justice government watchdog group (not LEO).

Perry's veto was made in accordance with the veto authority afforded to every governor under the Texas Constitution.

Gov. Perry gave fair warning to the "Public Integrity Unit".

But... because he threatened to use his veto before actually doing so in an attempt to pressure Lehmberg to quit so the lefties claim that Gov. Perry's actual act of integrity is a crime.

He vetoed $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit run by the office of Travis County Democratic District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. Mizz Lehmberg was convicted of drunken driving, but refused Governor Perry's calls (for Lehmberg) to resign.

The state's Public Integrity Unit operates out of her office.

Local news here just reported that Perry was being investigated by the Public Integrity Unit at the time he vetoed their already legislature approved funds.
