Perry’s hunt for business more a stunt
Gov. Perry’s latest economic-development raid on another state has sunk into a familiar pattern:
■ Perry announces his arrival — this time in Maryland — with a barrage of radio and TV ads saying, “Move to Texas.”
■ Local officials protest and accuse Perry of staging an outlaw raid on unsuspecting citizens.
■ Perry lands to front-page headlines, TV cameras and radio microphones, and talks about Texas’ favorable tax and regulatory climate.
