AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry dismissed “doomsayers” alarmed by the state’s $27 billion shortfall, instead pointing to Texas' strength in a State of the State address Tuesday that was long on Washington-bashing and short on budget-slashing. In his biennial speech to a joint legislative session, Perry glossed over the worries of budget writers and instead focused on what he saw as exceptional progress in job creation, population growth, attracting Fortune 500 companies and maintaining relatively low unemployment.
