Security for Perry's Asia trip topped $129,000
AUSTIN, TX
The governor's office has been fighting in court to keep details
of security costs secret for his travel. But The Associated Press
obtained totals for the trip to China, Taiwan and Korea on Monday
following requests under the state's open records laws.
Expense totals by category for Texas Department of Public Safety
officers included airfare, hotels, meals and overtime.
Perry -- who's been criticized by political opponents for his
out-of-state travel -- has said his trip led to increased exposure
for Texas business opportunities in Asia.
