Texas citizens (of which I am proud to be) have been calling for more conservative actions like the one Governor Perry has proposed in his "State of the State" address which was delivered on Tuesday. For a long time now, Texas has led the way as a state that implements conservative values for its citizens.…

The idea is great, however it needs to be implemented in a way that doesn't cause state agencies to recklessly burn through money rather than have some remaining.

Nice gesture, but I don't think it will ever happen. Solid fiscal and tax policies are better than sound bites and headlines. A better policy would be to reduce taxes/user fees prospectively as adjustments are warranted (based on past budget surpluses).

This is a great idea! It is their money in the first place.

What a concept!  Returning the people's money to them.  It is well known that if "extra"  money remains in the government coffers, a way will be found to spend it.   I favor smaller government, and support the Governor's proposal.  I would hope, however, that the Governor has an ample rainy day fund for those unexpected items. …

I think that's a great idea. Makes perfect sense to give back to the people what is the theirs in the first place.

The bold proposal to amend the Texas state Constitution to allow the state to return excess tax revenue to the taxpayers is a win-win for the people of Texas! Governor Perry has a great understanding regarding who the extra tax revenue truly belongs to!  The people of Texas should be very proud, and I am…
