Gov. ‘Pothole’ Perry has Texas in shambles

Gov. Rick Perry for president? Every county in Texas is now a disaster area while Perry remains in complete denial on climate change. As daytime temperatures regularly soar into the 100s, Perry's energy deregulation now leaves the state facing rolling blackouts.
Not only that, utilities can raise rates and are under no obligation to provide additional generating capacity.
Driven on Texas roads lately? They'll shake your car apart because of chronic maintenance neglect.
Don't take “Pothole” Perry seriously until you've taken a close look at what he's done to his own state.
