Perry seems to be well within his gubernatorial rights to withhold funding by veto power from an agency he thinks suffers from poor leadership
I agree and unless it is shown that he was attempting to squash an investigation then we have political BS here of the highest magnitude. I would like to think that most reasonable people would feel this woman shouldve stepped down.. Perry choose to use his granted powers to force her out, all the while being open about the why.

Well, he probably WAS trying to squash an investigation, but, like I said, it's too bad the DA gave him a legitimate way to do it. The statute in question prevents the governor from saying something to the DA such as "you're only going to get funding if you drop the investigation"; it doesn't prevent something such as "your agency will only be funded if you resign". It's up to Texas's voters to punish that latter posture if they so choose.
