Texas Research League backs present government form in reform plan
Texas may fare better under its current government than the cabinet system proposed for constitutional revision, says the Texas Research League. A new report to the Constitutional Revision Commission argues the administration is not an “administrative jungle” with 174 legal entities, but fewer than 30 entities control most state money and personnel. The league cites Texas as an economical big state and notes higher school funding than Ohio or Missouri, with major economy ideas focused on education.
