I cannot figure out why the legislature has allowed her to remain as the Acting ED!!! She has painted a pretty picture of TYC to the legislative committees, but the oil runs!!There is no 12:1 ratio or a treatment program. Her redaction of the black pants and shoes is an example of someone who doesn't think before they speak. <BR/><BR/>I never knew just how dirty Texas politics were until this mess. I should have known when Whitmire left the state a few years ago to avoid voting on a bill!!! <BR/><BR/>Perry can appoint 15 conservators, but has long as Pope is untouchable, then it won't do any good.
