Was in-state tuition on a ballot for the people of Texas to vote on?
Did you not read that the entire legislature voted FOR it? The ENTIRE legislature, don't you believe in our form of government?
You want it put on the ballot, like they do in California? I really don't think Texans want to be governed like they are in California where the people vote on almost every initiative any crank can come up with.
It's not your business unless you live in Texas. Texans decided they want to let them have access to tuition, they have to pay that tuition, it's not a freebee. I don't like it and wouldn't want it here, but TEXANS decided they wanted it because it came up twice in 10 years and passed both times.
