Your Texas Budget

How the Budget Got Cut

Texas Observer 

The budget has been a highly publicized and controversial topic this past year.  There are no politicians claiming fiscal responsibility for why Texas is experiencing the worst budget cuts since, well ever.  The Nation should pay close attention to why Texas Politicians are so desperately trying to find money to support and protect education, social services, and Medicaid.  Texas Senators and Representatives did not destroy financial aid for public schools, mental health services, and cut enormous public jobs in one session.  Discussed are many reasons why "the frail, the young, and the elderly” will suffer the most from the 82nd Legislature’s budget.
