THE CLAIM:
In an Oct. 5 news release, the Texas Democratic Party said that Gov. Rick Perry’s “`Pay to Play’ politics led him to send $899 million to an offshore call center in Bermuda.” The statement was referring to Texas’ 2005 deal with a group of companies led by Accenture LLP to run call centers applying the Children’s Health Insurance Program and sign up Texans for programs such as food stamps and Medicaid.
