Question for Democratic Candidates for Governor

by: Glenn Melancon

Wed Sep 30, 2009 at 09:47 PM CDT

Now, I can understand why Perry is avoiding this question, but why are our democratic candidates?

"Texas is headed for a lot of financial pain come 2012 and 2013.
This is one of the chief issues that all candidates ought to be discussing. Our state's budget is looking as unsustainable as the federal one - how will they fix that?"
Jennifer Nagorka, "Commentary: Structural Deficits," KERA
