I looked up the statistics for the 2009 regular session:
Signed: 1656
Unsigned: 12
So, it looks like he signed the vast majority of bills from the 2009 ssession. Since he's only signed 277 bills so far from this session, I'm guessing his pen is going to be pretty busy between now and Monday and I suspect there's still a good chance the parking lot bill will be among them. The vast majority of bills from this session are still unsigned, not just parking lots.

Re: Perry making a presidential run
Those 5 are bills that are effective immediately. The governor has until June 19th to sign bills. The remainder of unsigned bills that are set to become effective Sept. 1st will probably show as filed sometime after that date.loadedliberal wrote:
Filed without signature 5 vs. Signed 277 I think that speaks for itself.

Re: Perry making a presidential run
The numbers in those reports don't make any sense. If the 1500 number I read is accurate, what happened to the other 1218 bills. Additionally, if you look at this report:loadedliberal wrote:Signed: http://www.legis.state.tx.us/Reports/Re ... ignedbygov" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It shows a total of 5527 bills and resolutions that should be on the governors desk.

Re: Perry making a presidential run
How many bills does Gov. Perry actually sign after the legislative session? I recently read that over 1500 bills and resolutions were sent to the governor from the regular session. Does he actually sign the majority of those, or does he really only sign the few he wants to highlight in public "ceremonial" signings? This is just a guess, but maybe he hasn't signed the parking lot bill not because of any particular political motivation, but because he just doesn't sign the majority of bills that are sent to him?Heartland Patriot wrote: Is it possible that Governor Perry didn't sign the bill due to the fact that he didn't want to anger big businesses which may be headquartered out of state, perhaps in places that are less pro-2A, and would like to keep those businesses on a friendly footing? If there is one thing that I would ascribe to the Governor, its being business-friendly and making sure that they want to come to our state to set up and expand, and fuel our economic engine...maybe it was for other reasons, but this one makes as much sense to me as any other...
