“If I factor in inflation over 10 years”

That’s what I was wondering—are these figures adjusted for inflation?

The article quotes dollar figures and says nothing about inflation or any other factor.

That is an 49 to 90 Billion is 83% increase not a 100% increase. That's bad enough.
Texas's Gross State Product only grew from 2981.299 Billion in 2001 to $3786.41 Billion in 2010 in 2000 Dollars. That is a 27% growth in GSP. The population grew 20% to 25.145 million in that period.
This means that there was real growth of only 7% in the economy, but 60% in the budget. Some record.
