WASHINGTON — The Texas state government spends less money per resident than any other state in the country, according to a new survey that also ranks Texas as the fourth best-run state in the nation.
Texas spent $3,638 per year for each person in the state, according to the report — less than one-third the amount of top spender Alaska's $12,833.

Perry is a RINO.
And the facts are spending nearly doubled in 10 years. What does that have to do with per-capita spending of other states?
You are like the little kid caught doing something wrong who says “well, bobby does worse, so you are a liar”
No, Facts are he DOUBLED the size of STATE gov.
You are showing your colors by calling me a liar — -where is the proof what I said is wrong?
