You hit the nail on the head. This is an old article - weeks old - from a lefty paper; they use our two year budget compared to a one year in Cal...until late in the article they tell the facts of 2 vs.1. Besides Tx has been having across the board spending cuts of 5% and then 10% for the past two years to stay in budget.
“This is an old article - weeks old”
LOL!
Here is yet another article from yet another source in Texas...
