Bell Ringer 8/3

1. Rick Perry reacted to Lehmberg's drunk driving by telling her to step down from her position.  She refused so Perry took his own actions.  He witheld funding for a program that was run by Lehmberg.  This was a total violation of his powers of governor of Texas and is now facing serious legal trouble.

2.I don't fully agree with Perry's reasoning.  He shouldn't have cut the program since it would not only affect Lehmberg but many others as well.  It wasn't right.  But I do understand his thinking behind doing it since what Lehmberg did was just as bad, I just think he should have took different actions.
