Perry felt that the program was extremely beneficial to the state and that is why he felt the program should continue despite the cut in federal funding. Though Perry did not specify where exactly this kind of funding for the project would come from, he said that the state has a multibillion budget which could be easily flexed to make provisions for the program. He showed optimism that accessing this funding would not be an issue for the state administration Ramshaw & Belluck,...
