The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Lubbock County Commissioner Cary Shaw points out what few have wanted to let voters know:
via facebook: Today [Monday] we finished the budget. Is it as low as I would like, no but it is a good start. For all the hollering about budget cuts I want everyone to know just what is going on. The budget has grown over 80,000,000 dollars in the past 5 years. That is 80 million. We keep being told a growing county has to have more money. Well during this time 1 year population growth was 1.3 percent and 3 years it was 1.2 percent, and 1 year it is projected to drop a hundred or so. At the rate it was going 16 million average per year 6 more years it would have doubled what it was in 2020. This is not sustainable for the people in Lubbock county. The judge said it is a sad day for Lubbock county but I say it is a great day for Lubbock county residents.” [emphasis added]
