Chris Bell Rick Quotations

Rick Perry is taking his ethics lessons from Tom DeLay.

That's when we got hit with the highest tuition increases in the country. At A&M-Texarkana, tuition and fees went up 48 percent. Students are now paying an extra $1,030 a year because of Rick Perry's tuition deregulation, which has been an absolute failure.

This is why we need ethics reform now. Rick Perry is trying to sell a school finance plan that has no new money for schools, and he's raising corporate money to do it.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that Rick Perry just doesn't get it, that he doesn't understand that budgets are moral documents, that there are human costs attached to fiscal decisions,

If Rick Perry gets his way in Austin, schools in Beaumont and across Texas will suffer.
