Texas politics at the Austin level is soooooooo crooked. It’s amazing how the true agenda of elected officials comes out after they have been safely elected for the second and subsequent terms. The $5.0B is for the Corridor from Laredo to San Antonio and uninformed voters bought the “regular maintenance” hook, line and sinker. We don’t have state income tax yet - but..... K Bailey got $1.2M for a “reading program” in one school district, 1200 students K-12. She’s dumped us. Trying to get the Hispanic vote and run for gov. Our local rep (R), says they have the money in the budget for routine maintenance but they wanted to pass the $3.0M bond so they would have more money to “play with”! Docs who agreed to continue seeing SCHIP and CHIP people (a lot in the needy program and adults) recd a relatively large fee increase Oct 07 because so many were threatening to drop out of provider networks. Hope we’re not the next California.
