From that article:
So basically they are doing nothing to actually help improve Texas public schools. Just doing all this to win votes by "cutting taxes!" Same old song and dance. It's sad how far we've allowed our state to regress in so many ways. When I was a kid, my dad would always brag on Texas, usually set off by traveling on some well maintained highway. "Texas leads in roads, schools, universities! All the important things."
The only things we lead in now are greed and ignorance, intentional or not. And I guarantee you that corporations are going to come out way better than all the citizen homeowners combined.
And once the surplus runs out, what then? That 12.6 billion puts a pretty big dent in it.
At some point they will go out of power, and Dems will get elected and have to clean up this mess by increasing taxes just to get back to even, much less improving things. So the Republicans will run against tax increases and ignore the damage they've done Texas by dumbing down the majority of the population.
