Gust is an online service that connects business start-ups with investor capital. One investor is The Office of the Governor-State of Texas. Investors have to accredited, i.e. have a net worth over $1 million or have made over $200,000 per year the last two years. The Gust description for an accredited investor is below:
An "Accredited Investor" is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. This definition includes certain institutional investors and (a) any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person's spouse, exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of purchase; or (b) any natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and who reasonably expects reaching the same income level or greater in the current year.Therefore the average Texas citizen can't see or review the investment proposal.
Recall that Governor Perry gave The Carlyle Group's Vought Aircraft Industries $35 million to create 3,000 jobs in six years. Over that period Vought cut 35 positions. That's $1 million in taxpayer money for each job lost.
Gust is but another layer in Governor Perry's unaccountable use of taxpayer money for corporate handouts.

Has MedHab's Johnny Ross applied for funding from the Office of the Governor-State of Texas? He finagled a robust incentive package from the City of San Angelo ($3.6 million). How much might he hit Governor Perry up for?
Will Rick Perry blow a gust of financial support under MedHab? I'm sure Johnny Ross would find that MedHab-ulous.
