Spread the burden evenly and require businesses in Texas, where we have a very favorable business environment to pay more of their fair share.
We can't treat teachers like glorified test monitors and pay them accordingly if we want to have any hope of keeping teachers in classrooms,
If Tom DeLay really wants to see the source of his problems, he needs to look in the mirror. He chose this path, and now he's paying the price.
What is realistic is to tax every business fairly. Only one in eight of Texas' businesses are paying for a franchise tax. The right way is to spread the tax out evenly; the wrong way is to protect special interest.
Only one out of every eight business is paying to support our system.
I want an across-the-board pay raise with a dependable funding source.
That's when we got hit with the highest tuition increases in the country. At A&M-Texarkana, tuition and fees went up 48 percent. Students are now paying an extra $1,030 a year because of Rick Perry's tuition deregulation, which has been an absolute failure.

The American people do not begrudge anyone his or her power until they start abusing it.
We've been handed an incredible opportunity and the trick will be getting people to recognize that fact.
