He prevented the passing of a state income tax, helping greatly those that dont own land... mostly the poor... but lets ignore that too.
He prevented the deregulation of the public universities, ensureing low priced higher education (including the very highly esteemed UT/A&M schools)... helping mostly the poor... but lets ignore that too.
During his term Texas became second only to Silicone Valley in IT industries, bringing in billions of high paying jobs... but lets ignore that too.
.. I could go on...
Bush is extreamly popular here in Texas, if it was so bad under him he wouldnt have been elected an unheard of 4 consecutive terms for the Governor, nor elected by the state by a landslide.

The education system was NOT improved all around. I know several Texas families who removed their children from school and now homeschol- and have since bush was in office. Waht I am told is that as long as you were white and Christian he did a GREAT job. If you were a minority- then it was not as good. yes he had some accomplishments- but I have been told the damage outweighed the benefit. I will have to get ahold of my Texas friends for the details... They are poor Native Americans....
