Please understand one thing about this process. The Texas Constitution mandates a two-year balanced budget which is based upon revenue forecast made by the Comptroller. This isn't necessarily the results of Perry or the even the Leg. However it is nice that they are spending less the next two years than they did in the prior budget but I question if that would have occurred had the forecasted revenue been equal to or greater than the previous budget.
I understand that many conservatives are covertly very positive toward conservative Governor Rick Perry.
