RICK PERRY IS A "STATIST"

This is not a position a true Bagger politician would take:

Gov. Perry Announces Creation of Applied Cancer Science Institute at MD Anderson Center
9:08 am CST - November 29, 2011
TEXAS INSIDER

In 2007, the governor led an initiative to help make Texas the home for the next wave of treatments combating cancer, which resulted in the creation of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). Voters approved bonds to fund the institute for more than 10 years, enabling the state to finance research grant awards and attract top researchers.

Texas is also working to attract world-class researchers through the Texas Emerging Technology Fund (TETF), created at Gov. Perry’s request. To date, the state has invested nearly $178 million in grant-matching and research superiority funds to Texas universities, which has helped attract some of the top researchers in their respective fields.
