In his first major policy initiative since leaving the GOP presidential race in January, Gov. Rick Perry will call on Texas politicians to cut spending, keep taxes steady, and adopt strict limits on government expansion in the future.
Perry's "Texas Budget Compact" will be released at an event in Houston at noon. According to remarks prepared for the event, Perry will say "We are approaching a 2013 legislative session that offers a very clear choice in the direction we’ll be going as a state in the years, and even decades to come."
The initiative puts Perry back into the state's political arena after his bid for the GOP presidential nomination came to an end in South Carolina on January 19.
