Dear Editor, Taxpayers are supposed to believe that Rick and Anita Perry are in Italy for one week only to promote the Formula One race. Yes, we all know what a boon to the economy the F1 racetrack will be for Texas and wealthy entrepreneurs. However, what a con job Perry is performing in front of hardworking and hardly-working Texans to milk more money from taxpayers so Perry and the missus get a free weeklong Italian vacation. Isn't it difficult enough to fathom that Texas Gov. Rick Perry is the highest paid part-time governor in the nation? Haven't taxpayers been ravaged enough by their frivolous and uncaring governor? When will Texans become fed up with the governor’s ongoing costly shenanigans, see wealthy, special-interest driven Perry for what he is and then come out in droves to vote in a better candidate for governor?
