Quote: He was about the most insignificant Governor Texas has ever had in a state where the Governor has less significance than a County Sherrif, literally. The Governor of Texas is only a figurehead virtually no power to speak of -- you don't get much more 'insignificant' than that.
Dang man, what Texas do you live in? That's surely not the Texas I remember...
Do you remember the TYC changes that Bush implemented? Ya know, the entire make the punishment fit the crime deal, even for kids. It definately helped drop the repeat offenders (I have plenty of friends who went thru TYC after the changes, and they said its NOT fun like it used to be.)
What about the tort reforms? He implemented more tort reform in a quarter than any other state in like 10 or 20 years, dropping bogus lawsuits in Texas by 1/4 or more.
How about the Texas Miracle? Test scores in the state soaring for schools.
But then again, he had no power in Texas.
