The Teacher\u2019s Retirement Fund has gone from a 5-billion dollar surplus when Rick Perry took office, to being over 20-billion dollars in the red. There was a vote that had the support of people of both parties, to put a teacher\u2019s representative who could be a watchdog on that board. Rick Perry vetoed that bill.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>White also said if he&#8217;s elected governor his first move would take him straight into a mobile home. The millionaire lives in a home appraised at $2.1 million, but says he&#8217;d be the portrait of frugality the moment he takes office by moving into a mobile home to save taxpayers money.  Perry&#8217;s spokesman calls White&#8217;s proposal a gimmick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER (Staff\/AP) &#8212; With the gubernatorial election less than two weeks away, Democrat Bill White brought his campaign back to Tyler.
