Gov Goodhair (TX) Vacations Wife Anita (Bahamas, Rome, Florence)

[UTUSN]

At least superstar husbands in trouble private-pay diamonds for the angry wives. Governor Goodhair's wife has to put up with lobbyists on their junkets----but then, maybe it's best not to be alone together.

Item #3 is gratuitous, just a little something about Goodhair's gutting environmental policies, in the paw prints of Shrub. Yeah, "Don't Mess with Texas."

"I have contacted the Republican Party of Texas with instructions to remove us from their mailing/phone lists. We will no longer contribute to the Republican Party of Texas as long as you are in office."

The possibility that publicly funded vouchers for private school tuition might have been discussed drew concern from a woman identified as a Dallas-area PTA leader. Perry, Leininger, the Texas Public Policy Foundation and Norquist have supported vouchers.

"Richardson Independent School District is broke, and you are being sweet talked into ... diverting money to vouchers!" the woman wrote. "Wake up and smell the coffee, governor." ....
