I don’t think they have a heart, as Rick Perry might say. They don’t have a head either. By law, Texas taxpayers fund K-12 education. Why limit the return on that investment? Judge strikes down Texas policy giving undocumented immigrants in-state tuition https://t.co/r83ObFvlgk
@GregAbbott_TX Texas Please read before signing this bill. Lawmakers were told it was cost-neutral but apparently that’s ONLY under certain market conditions. Bill that reverses Houston pension reforms is 'mind boggling,' experts say https://t.co/T03EAr341t
