Texas Gov. Perry Runs Ads to Slam New York
Texas Gov. Rick Perry is poking fun at New York ahead of his upcoming trip to convince employers there to move to Texas.
In $600,000 worth of radio spots that began airing Wednesday in New York City and Albany, he scoffs at the state’s “‘new’ New York” promotional campaign.
“The new New York sounds a lot like the old New York,” the ad says. “Higher taxes. Stifling regulations. Bureaucrats telling you whether you can even drink a Big Gulp.”
Perry’s five-day visit to New York begins Sunday. It follows job-poaching trips to Illinois and California, which also featured ads criticizing those states.
