Texas Gov. Rick Perry might be the most secretive governor in modern Texas political history, the Dallas Morning News reports today. He won’t even release his schedule publicly. Why? According to Perry’s press secretary, “Security is different in a post-9/11 world. Security is paramount.”
(The reason Perry’s lack of transparency has come up again now is he’s refusing to release the documents that he reviewed immediately prior to the execution of Cameron Todd Willingham, the convicted arson murderer whose conviction is coming under increasing scrutiny, as Josh noted yesterday.)
