A curious list of gifts
The governor of Texas is required by law to report any gifts with a value over $50. This has led to the governors office releasing a list of such gifts, some of which definitely raise some eyebrows.
The latest intriguing tidbit: records of all the gifts Perry received while in office, including 22 pairs of cowboy boots, free medical tests for himself and his wife, nine hunting trips and many concert and sports tickets. The Texas Ethics Commission has records of 90 gifts Perry accepted.Just what kind of medical tests did the Gov. AND his wife need, presumably at the same time? And did the boots have instructions for emptying said boots if liquid gets inside? And were the instructions properly placed on the heel? A wondering world want to know.
