"Very fair to Dallas"
"You know, a lot was made that there was no one from Dallas on the conference," Rep. Lois Kolkhorst just told me, referring to the House-Senate conference committee that worked out final details of the proposed two-year budget.
"But I gotta tell you, I think we were very fair to Dallas."
Ms. Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, said Dallas got $21 million of the roughly $180 million of "special items" in the higher education budget. She said UT Southwestern Medical Center also got $8 million of state money for graduate medical education. "That's up there with Baylor in Houston," she said.

Bull.... no money for UNT, UT Arlington, UNT Health Science Center, the Tarrant County Community College, etc. Explain how with the Tax dollars that Tarrant and Denton County put into the economy that Kolkhorst brags about funding the school that has a hospital wing named after Nadine Craddick,,funded by Beecheral....smells doean't it.
