“If a government official commits a crime, it is entirely appropriate for Perry or any other taxpayer to call for her resignation”
Yes it is. However the official is not required to resign. In fact the Travis County DA won her lawsuit to keep her job after her sentence and rehab was finished.
The governor doesn’t have the power to make her resign. If he did he would have just fired her.
And she did NOT resign. She stayed in office (her right) he vetoed the budget (his right).
You might as well charge her with causing the loss of the funding by staying in office.
If you watched her arrest video, she told the cops about 100 times that “you are ruining my career.” She knew then her career SHOULD have been ruined.
But because it’s Austin and because she is democrat scum, she stayed in office. In any decent society she would have resigned in shame for all the trouble she caused.
But not in the USSA. Here Perry should face life in prison for cutting her budget after publicly telling everyone he would.
