Texans deserve debates, not excuses, from career politician Perry

HOUSTON — Rick Perry continues to refuse to debate.

"No more excuses," said White. "Texans deserve a series of debates about the future of our state. Career politician Rick Perry needs to stop hiding from voters and hunting for excuses."

"Why won’t Rick Perry debate?" said Katy Bacon, campaign spokesperson. "This is a 25 year career politician who’s known for being ‘slick.’ Why won’t he answer questions and face Texans without a script?"

Rick Perry has nearly doubled state spending, he’s doubled state debt, and the state is facing the largest budget shortfall in Texas history: $18 billion.

How has career politician Rick Perry confronted this impending budget crisis?

Long weekends and light workdays.

An analysis of 15 weeks of his state schedule reveals that Part-Time Perry had only two hours of "office time" scheduled, and more than half of Perry’s time was spent at press conferences, photo ops, lunches and dinner parties.

During these 15 weeks, Rick Perry also enjoyed 10 long weekends, which gave him plenty of time to enjoy the food prepared by his one and half chefs in his $10,000 per month rental mansion.

"Perry thinks he is doesn’t need to answer to Texans and can just relax in his rental mansion all the way through November," said Bacon. "Perry doesn’t think he needs to work on our budget crisis, he admitted he was waiting until 2011 to address it, and he even made the outrageous claim that the $18 billion shortfall was grabbed from the air. Perry needs to stop playing political games, stop denying the budget crisis and start working for Texans."
