Critique of O'Daniel vetoes harms Texas finances
A reader attacks Governor O'Daniel for vetoing the general claims bill and trimming livestock and sanitary funds. The piece argues the veto worsens debts to firms and individuals, mocks claims of economy, and urges overhauling state government rather than cutting specific appropriations. It notes no veto of prison funding, warns of rising taxes, and calls for long overdue reforms.
