I wish I had more on this, but the links I had that made some of this stuff clear no longer work. The Dallas Morning News archived their articles. On TXU, from what I recall from memory...Perry pushed them through claiming it would reduce citizen's utility bill. The opposite happened, TXU was overbilling residents. TXU is linked to Rudy Guiliani's law firm. In addition to overbilling, there were environmental issues and issues with the SEC.

Rick Perry did something to deter lawsuits from people who bought homes from Bob Perry/Perry Homes and had problems. Bob Perry (they say no relation to Rick) is a big GOP donor and has been a big Rick Perry donor. Bob Perry has no interest in upholding warranties on homes he built, sticking the home buyers with huge costs to repair or years in court, but millions of dollars to prop up corrupt politicians. And, I'm pretty sure Rick Perry did something to shield Bob Perry from upholding his responsibility to these home buyers.

Bob Perry financed Swift boat Veterans, Freedomworks, etc. If my memory serves, this guy is tied to Karl Rove and makes huge donations to American Crossroads too. I wonder if the campaign donations for his recent governor's campaign are still available. There probably is stuff we could use there.
