Wendy Davis Calls For Re-Examining State’s $44 Billion In Tax Loopholes
[font color=green]This report was in the news on Tuesday of last week, but apparently did not receive much media coverage.[/font]
FORT WORTH (CBS 11 NEWS) When Democratic candidate for Texas Governor Wendy Davis outlined her economic plan in Fort Worth Tuesday there was no mistaking who she said shes fighting for. The current State Senator mentioned hardworking Texans 19 times during her more than 40-minute speech.
Davis says her plan to keep the economy booming in Texas, which has outranked every state in the nation for job creation since the recession, hinges on improving the states public schools. She wants full-day pre-K for every child in the Lone Star State.
She said the move would be to assure,
that the ever increasing percentage of our students who are coming to school less prepared to learn than we were will start off in a better place.
Davis called for an increase in funding for education, and criticized her Republican opponent. Greg Abbott likes to toss around phrases like making Texas number one in education. But his actions tell a dramatically different story.
