DonDiego concurs.

If any one is interested ABC News presented a brief review of the matters at issue in this 18 August 2014
report.
"Texas Gov. Rick Perry was indicted on two felony charges following his veto of state funding for the Travis County District Attorney’s Office — a public integrity unit led by a Democratic lawyer convicted of driving drunk."

So the issue is can the Governor veto funding for an office based upon misbehavior of the office's boss.

[It is quite easy to find reports biased on either side of this matter, but the ABC News report presents the facts pretty straight.]

DonDiego has no serious interest in the matter. He does not reside in the State of Texas anymore. He has no personal, political, or other relationship to the Governor or Ms. Lehmberg. He has no intention to support or oppose the Governor's action. As always poor old DonDiego does support enforcing whatever laws are on the books. His only position is to let the case run it's course.
