Texas short on money.

This article published in the American Statesman is written by Kate Alexander. It predict for Texas a tremendous amount of money needed to close the gaping budget holes for the 2012 2013 years. This specific article predicts a $21 billion shortfall but in reality, it may be much more than that. Actual state leaders have already told all the different agencies to cut their current budget by 5% and already plan to add another 10% to the next budget. The article suggests eliminating less essential programs rather than trimming everything. The author also explains that not doing anything now can make things even worse for all the next generation to deal with. Texas imperatively need to act on this issue and plan ahead otherwise it may lead to a big mess.
