All this TYC shit keeps coming back to him or his staff:
An aide to the governor received detailed investigative reports alleging a sex scandal at a West Texas youth lockup days before the November election, documents show, but Gov. Rick Perry has said he learned only last month, from news reports, about the abuse at the Texas Youth Commission facility.Granted, the fact that a staffer was forwarded an email with information about the TYC sexual abuse is a far cry from Perry having any direct knowledge about it, but it certainly puts a kink in the Gov's story of "we found out when you did."Interviews and documents confirm that one of Perry's aides, Alfonso Royal, was forwarded graphic investigative reports about sexual abuse at the West Texas State School from Texas Ranger Sgt. Brian Burzynski on Oct. 30 or 31, 2006. The documents also indicate that Royal knew in October, just days before Perry was re-elected, about a West Texas district attorney's lack of action in the case.
