Perry and Sharp political rivals who became allies again
Perry and Sharp, Texas political figures, began as friends at Texas A&M in 1968 and later became rivals. Perry switched parties, won governorship, while Sharp rose from statehouse to the Railroad Commission, culminating in a 2005 pact to cut local taxes and Sharp becoming chancellor of Texas A&M.
