As Gov. Rick Perry continues to ponder a presidential run, many Texans have often wondered whether those numerous out-of-state trip he’s made since re-election have actually been for state business or future political aspirations. Here’s one thing we know: the state didn’t pay for most of those trips. As business separate or at least partially separate from his governor-related duties, Perry has made quite a showing since January at many events where plenty of would-be donors have been present, though his people would argue it’s been to represent Texas in some way or the other. After sifting through his 200+ campaign finance reports released on Friday, KXAN found more than 20 such trips paid for under his statewide campaign – Texans For Rick Perry. And while he likely wouldn’t be able to use that money directly to pay for a presidential campaign since it stems from his run for governor, it’s a safe bet – like the attention he’s been garnering in recent weeks across the country – this money has been put to good use for any possibilities ahead.
