I've been to Austin and couldn't believe a city would treat its poor with so little respect and acknowledgement by the community.
At that moment in time, as I stood on Congress Street, watching the yuppies enjoy their youthful and flagrant disregard for adult responsibility, I withdrew my support for Governor Perry for President.
But his attempt to virtually put an end to the state's particular effort at monitoring its own activities in order to maintain a government free from corrupt influences by his withdrawing funding of its watchdog agency is an outrage. It makes me suspect there is more going on in state politics than the usual "I'll do this for you, if you do that for me!" syndrome. Evidently, being in the governorship for so long has given Perry a political cushion on which to ride a merry trail without much to track his path. This watchdog agency should be funded and its vital work continued, as an independent agency of state government.
