Following the revelations that Governor Goodhair’s ultra-secret budget proposals would have made a complete mockery of most of his campaign promises, our one and only Guv is now denying all responsibility for it.
“That was a lot of different people’s ideas that were being pitched up,” Perry said. “I never saw that document. It never got to my desk.”
The draft budget released Tuesday by Perry’s office showed that his administration was considering making almost $3 billion in education cuts and $1.3 billion in Medicaid cuts that were contrary to his campaign promises last year.
“Don’t read too much into it. It was a draft document that was a working document,” Perry said.
I get such a warm and tingly feeling knowing that we have strong and principled leadership in Austin. Don’t you?
That warm and tingly feeling is best defined as BOHICA, Chuck. 😉
