"What Goes Around... Comes Around"
Quote:
Grand jurors charged Perry, 64, with abuse of official capacity, a first-degree felony, and coercion of a public servant, a third-degree felony. The first charge carries a punishment of 5-99 years and a fine of up to $10,000. The second charge is punishable by 2-10 years and a fine of up to $10,000.
The indictment stems from Perry?s threat last summer to withhold $7.5 million in state money from Lehmberg?s office unless she step down ? a threat he later carried out by vetoing an appropriation in the state budget.
