Rick's Rental Mansion - $9,000 a month for us Texas taxpayers

[texastoast]

I got this from White's campaign this morning.

----------------------------------------

Did you know that Rick Perry is charging taxpayers $9,000 a month for an extravagant rental mansion?

By the end of his term, he will have drained over $360,000 from us for the rental mansion he's living in while the historic Governor's Mansion undergoes renovations.

When Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a Republican, was faced with a similar situation, he lived in a donated triple-wide mobile home on the grounds of the Arkansas Governor's Mansion to save taxpayers money.

Taxpayers should not be paying for a $1.85 million mansion with a heated pool, a cabana, and a full outdoor kitchen. Rick Perry should be setting an example.

Donate $5 or more to the Rick Perry Relocation Fund :evilgrin: at this link (aka the Bill White for Texas campaign website).

1. Yes I did know

I contributed to Rick's relocation fund. My hope is that Rick and Anita Perry never get to live in our Governor's house again. It burned down on their watch, they tried to add a tasteless addition that has only recently been scaled back. See white cloud's prior thread here: Upsizing the Mansion

The Perry's setting an example? Ha! The example thing that they do best is hypocrisy. I can hear Perry channeling Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake" while he sits comfortably in his $10,000 a month house paid for by taxpayer money.


They are not worthy to live in our mansion. :grr:
