Fwd: [DemocraticResearch] Letter: Look at Perry's record - John R. Cobarruvias

Look at Perry's record
http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/opinion/letters/stories/DN-3pfreeforall_0101edi.ART.State.Edition1.3e480be.html

It was great to hear Rick Perry's intentions to run for governor based upon his
record.

After Gov. Perry championed insurance reform on behalf of the insurance
industry, home insurance rates doubled with less coverage and higher
deductibles.

After he championed extreme limits on medical malpractice lawsuits and massive
tort reform on behalf of the insurance industry, health care and insurance rates

have risen with absolutely no relief for the consumer.

Under his leadership, the Republican-controlled House and Senate could not
resolve the funding issue for our public schools, but after four special
sessions, he did manage to pass a bill to increase his own tax-funded pension.

Property taxes are higher, wages are lower, health insurance is becoming scarce,
car insurance is on the rise, college costs have skyrocketed, electricity and
gas have increased, gasoline is still over $2 a gallon and Texas has sunk below
Mississippi in categories including education, health care and services for the
needy.

So, if Rick Perry wants to run on his record, I have three words for him: "Bring
it on!"

John R. Cobarruvias, Houston
