Living in a Material World...

The hullabaloo (pun-intended) surrounding Perry's $50 million grant [read: earmark] to Texas A&M from the state's Emerging Technology Fund illustrates the danger of shady money in politics. Only after Perry was caught with his hands in the cookie jar is the state legislature going to do something about it.

Both Perry and Hutch should eschew any earmarks, grants, etc. All appropriations should be thoroughly vetted and meet taxpayer approval.
