Blog 8: Commentary on colleague's work

Megan Nye reported that CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) had announced their list of the worst Governors. Amongst the worst was our own Governor, Rick Perry. In both Megan's work and in the article it mentions his discretions from his use of campaign contributions for personal use and most recently, his rejection of the federal stimulus package to help our school system.
Rightfully mentioned was the fact that CREW is a liberally funded organization. Everyone involved from reporting to contributions comes dominantly from Democrats. For those who are strictly Republican will not agree with these findings (especially since he has been re-elected for the past two terms) but for those who are either Democratic or wait to listen to reason before deciding who to vote on probably see these discretions on a regular basis. Governor Perry definitely fits the bill as one of the worst governors and though I see that he will again be re-elected it would be nice if we finally left him in the past and try to bring our state back up and bring in someone new who will actually do our government good. Megan and CREW make valid points and speaking as a Republican and reported time after time about Perry's questionable actions it is time for others to wake up as well and decide to check another box when election time rolls around.
