Trends affecting Texas taxpayers

Friday's issue of Texas Government Insider, an electronic newsletter published by Strategic Partnerships, Inc., lists several trends that affect Texas taxpayers:


Here are some of the most important, ever moving current trends to watch. These are significant trends that will certainly have an impact (one way or the other) on Texas taxpayers. . . .

  • Tuition increases at almost every institution of higher education
  • A major focus on economic development in Texas
  • Hundreds of bond elections throughout the state at local levels
  • Some of the largest transportation efforts ever mounted
  • A concentrated focus on educational institutions and educational programs
  • Health care costs being pushed to local governments
  • Less state funding for prison operations
So which ones make your blood run cold? SPI promises to publish more trends in later issues. I can hardly wait.
