Quote from Allen Weeks: "I have no illusion that things will drastically change until we elect a new set of pro-education legislators. However, it is vital that we make sure people know how this legislature has betrayed our schools, leaving billions on the table that should have been used to preserve thousands of teaching jobs for no other good reason than their desire to shrink public education."

This blog chronicles the aftermath of the budgetary and legislative decisions of the 82nd Texas Legislature, as revealed through factual analysis and the stories of real Texans. The Texas Governor and legislators refused to garner and use available state revenue to offset state budget shortages. Worse than taxes, their decisions have levied a crushing "Texas Toll" that Texans will pay for in terms of jobs, human freedom to live in the community, health, education, and our children's future.
