AUSTIN, Texas -- A Texas judge says he plans to have a special prosecutor review allegations that Gov. Rick Perry possibly violated the law over a veto that cut funding for public corruption investigators.Judge Robert Richardson told the Austin-American Statesman (http://bit.ly/14O2Nlz) that he expects to appoint a special prosecutor early as next week. Perry's office denies wrongdoing.
The complaint stems from the drunken-driving arrest of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg in April. Her office houses the Public Integrity Unit that is the state's criminal investigative ethics arm.Perry said he would veto money for the unit if Lehmberg, a Democrat, did not resign. Lehmberg has refused and Perry went on to eliminate $3.7 million in annual state funding.
these childish acts by the republicans are so transparent i believe he really just wants to get rid of the watchdog unit that one investigate him and his buddies, this is a smaller version of the right wing trying to kill consumer reg., leaving those who chose to abuse free to ply their dastardly deeds on the people.
