It's not enough that Governor Rick Perry owes his political career to good fortune and better timing. Now he's creating his own luck. After six years in office, during which he belatedly passed a school finance bill that doesn't seem to do a whole lot, Perry wound up being such an uninspiring and largely useless governor that he generated three credible challengers. If you have a free 15 minutes, Rick Perry will talk about his "accomplishments" in office at a Greater Dallas Chamber luncheon at noon Wednesday. The luncheon will be held at InterContinental Dallas Hotel, 15201 Dallas Parkway, in Addison.To RSVP, call 214-746-6690.
Wed., Sept. 27, noon
