If you thought Rick Williamson’s untimely death late last month meant that it might finally be time for a change in policy at the embattled Texas Transportation Commission, think again:
Commission member Ted Houghton of El Paso was blunt about Perry’s influence.
“This is the governor’s program. If we go in and try to scrap some piece of his program, I think we’re going to have hell to pay with our boss, and that’s the governor,” Houghton said. “He was elected by the citizens, not us. We are an extension of what he believes.”
Isn’t it great when gubernatorial appointees get to the point where they simply become an “extension” of Rick Perry’s brain? Saves them from having to think, I suppose.
