Texas Governor Rick Perry

I had the opportunity to meet Texas Governor Rick Perry today. Governor Perry made a brief stop to visit with Liberty County officials to discuss the state’s continued support through Hurricane Ike's restoration process.

He seemed very sincere and complimented Liberty County Officials for their response in regards to Hurricane Ike.

I did tell his "worker bee" to tell Governor Perry that it is not the government's responsibility to pay for homes that are damaged by natural disasters. However, I do feel that the government should oversee insurance companies to make sure they are ethical and equitable.

I also had the opportunity to meet Texas House Representative John Otto. Representative Otto encouraged me to use him as a resource in my government class to discuss how a bill becomes a law.

Again, I would like to thank the following individuals for a job well done in regards to their response to Hurricane Ike.
