unprecedented budget deficit estimated at $21 billion, faltering health care

longest-serving governor in Lone Star history -- has been at the helm of an
increasingly wayward ship. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=1 face=Arial><span style='font-size:9.0pt;

details, fobbing them off on the Legislature and even suggesting in a recent

Republican Perry with former Houston Mayor Bill White, a Democrat with

office tarnished by charges of cronyism, partisanship and catering to
contributors at the expense of constituents. "Today our state is being
run like a political machine to perpetuate Rick Perry in office," said
White during his screening with the Chronicle editorial board. Gov. Perry has
declined to meet with <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Texas</st1:place></st1:State>

to get things done," White continued. "Leadership is not dividing
the state into red teams and blue teams, playing people off against each
other. Leadership is not having citizens and journalists have to pry
information out of the government when it's funded by the taxpayers." <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
