By Pleasing Everyone, Rick Pleases No One

Perry finally called for the highly-expected special session last week and has set what can only be described as a very modest agenda. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/DN-xgrspecial_29tex.ART.State.Edition2.4bdc262.html

Perry has upset conservatives by not taking up the Voter ID bill from the past session. Likewise, democrats are upset he has refused to take up expansion of the state's subsidized children's health insurance program. And, he has upset everyone by refusing to address property tax relief.

Apparently, Perry has determined that no news is preferable to bad news coming out of a special session. With political calculations like this, KBH will have an easy time making him out to be an ineffective leader.
