The Texas budget legislators have set aside the monies for the remodel, even though they have fought against extending unemployment benefits. Governor Rick Perry doesn't want the Federal Government to attach strings to the $555 million in stimulus dollars for unemployment insurance. He said "He didn't want the government to tell the people in Texas how to run their business".
Other projects favored by Perry, $40 million to help film projects, 20 million for the Enterprise Fund meant to spur economic development and $24 million for the Emerging Technology Fund. The Governor hasn't blocked the bulk of the stimulus dollars from coming to Texas, but does not want the unemployment part.
He wants to use $11 billion for pet projects and to balance the proposed two-year budget.
