The state government in Texas is a complete disaster. Government overreach in this state is incredible to behold. Corruption goes all the way to the top.
Greg Abbott's largest donor is someone in Vermont that owns a private school system, so what did Greg Abbott do about it? He funded Republican opponents in the primaries to remove those who voted against his school voucher bill last session. He held billions of dollars back from Texas students and school staff as an incentive for people to vote the bill this session, and of course it passed.
Dan Patrick's largest donor is the tobacco and alcohol lobby, so what did he force down the legislature this session? Making THC illegal even though something like 70% of the state wants it legalized.
I can safely say that you should not move to Texas.
