I guess the Governor’s remarks on Texas seceding from the union isn’t earning him any love from his colleagues in the Legislature. While debating the budget, the House just passed an amendment that would take $23 million of the Governor’s $24 million budget and put into mental health care services instead. If that plan sticks, the Guv might have to set up a tent in the burned out mansion’s backyard. And, while the national media has given Perry some sought out attention, the Senate took a jab at him as well when they voted to go over the Governor’s head and accept the $555 million dollars in stimulus money he rejected.
How ironic would it be if he had to let some of his staff go due to a depleted budget and they were the next ones in line for the unemployment money he rejected?

Taxpayer employee’s or another way to say it, Governor, State Senator or State Representative should make no more than or have budgets of more than 1.5 times the average mean income of the district they represent. If they want a raise, then they are going to have to find a way improve financal stability of their constituents.
