the gist of the matter is that they either over-taxed the citizens and businesses in the state or they could provided more financial assistance to the less fortunate than they did. Considering how tight things were previously, I'm willing to give them a mulligan to increase those reserves. However, when you keep building the reserves like Texas has ($12B) over the years then it becomes appropriate to ask questions like "Why don't we expand Medicaid?" and "Why don't we spend more on education?"
