In people ain’t sh*t news, it looks like political figure and legislative office holder, Republican Governor Rick Perry, is in serious hot water and may be looking at some time after grand jury indicted him for what?! Get full scoop inside.
As a native of Texas I am appalled at “Slick Rick”, but not the least bit surprised. However, this could possibly put a crimp in his bid to be considered for the 2016 Presidential nominations (insert sarcasm). According to reports, the 14 year veteran Republican Governor of Texas Rick Perry may be coming closer to his day of reckoning, after being indicted by a grand jury in Austin, Tx after withholding MILLIONS of dollars from the office of a local district attorney, who is a Democrat. In short, he is hot water for his abuse of power.
USA Today reports….
“Grand jurors charged Perry, 63, with abuse of official capacity, a first-degree felony, and coercion of a public official. Perry must now turn himself in to the Travis County Jail, where he will be booked, fingerprinted and and have his mug shot taken, according to KVUE-TV.
Governor Rick Perry has brought dishonor to his office, his family and the state of Texas,” it read. “Texans deserve to have leaders that stand up for what is right and work to help families across Texas.”
The indictment stems from the drunk driving arrest last year of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who was captured on video berating officers following her arrest. She served jail time, underwent counseling and returned to her post.
Perry called for Lehmberg’s resignation and, when she refused, vetoed $7.5 million in state funding for the public integrity unit that she oversees. The withholding forced Lehmberg to cut some staff in that office.”
