North Texas Liberal brings us information about the pathetically underfunded and neglected Texas parks.
How does Texas rate nationally in support of its parks?The comments has an interesting entry on Strayhorn's flip-flops and anti-Democratic values.Texas ranks 49th among the 50 states in funding for state parks. With Texas' population pushing 23 million, the state parks annual operating budget is a puny $54.4 million, or roughly $2.37 per Texan - about what you might pay for a small cheeseburger.
At a time when the Texas state government enjoys a surplus of eight billion dollars, support for the park system has gone from bad to worse.
