The Evening Brief: Texas Headlines for Nov. 26, 2012
New in The Texas Tribune:
• Perry Taps Chief of Staff for Texas Supreme Court: "Gov. Rick Perry has named Jeff Boyd, his chief of staff, as his choice to replace Texas Supreme Court Justice Dale Wainwright, who resigned from the state's highest civil court earlier this year."
• Perry's $10,000 Degree Challenge Spreads to Florida: "Even in gubernatorial circles, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Just ask Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who recently announced a $10,000 degree challenge modeled after the approach of his Texas counterpart, Gov. Rick Perry."

A gaurantee of outrageously inaccurate rulings

Perry messes up again and again and again. Why is Texas cursed with Perry?

How much longer is this clown in office.

To all the posters bashing Perry, doesn't it seem odd that Texas is doing so well.
Ronnie Odom via Texas Tribune on Facebook
Does the guy have a law degree?

It's not even necessary to "bash" the governor. I'd just like to suggest promoting an actual judge to this highest judiciary office in the state.

@Merryl ... A blind squirrel still finds acorns. Texas does well (unless you are poor or a child) in spite of Perry or itself.
