Governor's Mansion Fire

I am deeply saddened that a fire gutted one of our prized historical landmarks, the Governor's Mansion in Austin. The Governor's Mansion holds so many special memories for me. It was my home for 24 very special hours when I served as Governor For A Day. I especially loved participating in Easter Egg rolls there with my grandson. It is a tragic loss for Texas. We will work to ensure that it is restored to its former glory and I hope that the authorities -- who suspect arson -- are successful in their investigation.
