Rick Perry says he's 'close' to donor whose firm got tech grant

Gov. Rick Perry acknowledged Wednesday that he has a "nice, close personal relationship" with a major campaign donor whose company was awarded $4.5 million in state technology funds despite its failure to win approval from a regional screening board. The governor defended the funding as permissible under the law and said he was not concerned that the award made in August to Convergen Lifesciences Inc. of Austin, founded by David G. Nance, might appear improper.
