Gov. Perry's Inauguration Bar-b-que

While Texas faces a 20 million dollar budget short fall, Governor Perry plans his third inauguration shin-dig on January 18 on the capital lawn. Tickets are $8. You can buy yours beginning Monday the 10th, and your ticket will include entrance plus a plate of bar-b-que.

That evening there will be a lavish celebration, invite-only and they must pay for tickets, ahem, in Austin's downtown Convention Center. The hall is decked out in massive chandeliers, jewel-toned roses, and two huge centerpieces of fruit and pastries. Performing will be Mary Wilson of the Supremes, Clay Walker, and Ted Nugent.





Perry has been criticized for his luxurious lifestyle. He lives in a $10,000-a-month mansion with a full staff while the traditional state residence undergoes renovation.
