Liberal trial lawyer Bill White continues to run from his record. He says he wasn’t a trial lawyer despite court records proving he was one. He hides his shady business deals by refusing to release his income tax returns for 89 days and counting. And his campaign continues to ignore the contents of a memo White wrote in 2008 advising President-elect Barack Obama on how to sell cap and trade legislation to the public. Even his spokeswoman Katy Bacon yesterday told the Texas Tribune, “Bill has never been in favor of cap and trade.” (SOURCE: “Ads Infinitum: Perry Goes After ‘Cap & Trade,’” Texas Tribune, 6/3/10, http://www.texastribune.org/blogs/post/2010/jun/03/ads-infinitum-perry-g...)
“Liberal Bill White has no regard for the truth,” said Texans for Rick Perry spokesman Mark Miner. “Bill White can try to deny his support for cap and trade, but he cannot hide the advice he gave President-elect Obama on how to sell cap and trade to the public like he is hiding his tax returns. Bill White should come clean and release his tax returns so Texans can learn the truth about how he profited during his years in public service.”
The Houston Chronicle published White’s memo to the Obama Administration on May 18, 2010, in an article titled, “Bill White's advice to Obama on cap and trade.” (SOURCE: “Bill White's advice to Obama on cap and trade,” Houston Chronicle, 5/18/10, http://blogs.chron.com/texaspolitics/archives/2010/05/bill_whites_adv.html)

Video: “Bill White’s Chicago Way”
October 21, 2010
When liberal trial lawyer Bill White ran for Houston mayor in 2003, he was asked, “Which city in the world could best serve as a role model for a future Houston?”
Bill White answer? “Chicago.” [1]
The video “Bill White’s Chicago Way” is available at www.YouTube.com:
“Liberal Bill White’s admiration for the Chicago Way was evident when he steered a contract following Hurricane Rita to a company he had a financial relationship with, then profited from a private investment in the company,” said Texans for Rick Perry spokesman Mark Miner. “While Houston mayor, Bill White met with two other followers of the Chicago Way, then-Senator Barack Obama and his future chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.”
The Associated Press has reported, “Barack Obama, before he became president, leads a list of luminaries who met with White in Houston during his six years leading the nation's fourth largest city, according to mayoral calendar records provided to The Associated Press by Perry's campaign. Former President Bill Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential candidates Bill Richardson, John Edwards and Wesley Clark also made the list. There is a phone call with Caroline Kennedy and a meeting with Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who later became White House chief of staff.” [2]
