White Draws on Business Background

TYLER — Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bill White issues a call for unity and refers to his business background during his latest phone visit with KTBB. According to White, “Texas deserves a governor who can bring people together — Republicans, Democrats, Independents — and run this state like a well-run business. I’m a businessman; Rick Perry’s a career politician. I urge people to understand we have an alternative — and don’t be distracted by Mr. Perry’s attempt to cover up his failures by pointing at Washington. We need somebody who’s accountable for the government of Texas.” No comment yet from the Perry campaign. The governor has secured the backing of former President George H.W. Bush.
