One only need drive by the new high schools being built by school districts and peruse administrator salaries to realize these people have so much cash they have to move it around with snow shovels. Some of the high schools would make Saddam Hussein blush, they are so huge and ornate.

You could cut Texas' property taxes in half and they would still be too high.

The Texas property taxes are causing me to re-think retirement plans. A return to Texas (sounds like a movie title) may not be best, unfortunately.

Texans rarely voice opposition to high salaries for school administrators. They have bought into the line that one must "pay" for what he gets in "education." So, they believe that a $125,000 administrator bound to be "better" than a $65,000 one.
