Texas Public Policy Foundation This report reveals how tuition deregulation has reduced the incentive for Texas
universities to keep spending under control, shifted some higher education costs
from taxpayers to students, exposed the lack of price competition in higher
education, and has not significantly reduced the long-term pressure on state
appropriations for higher education.

great research, analysis and insight. I teach community college government in the Lone star System (formerly North Harris Montgomery College District). This will help make the case to the kids that gov't directly impacts their lives and they need to be informed, involved citizens. Great work. Thank you.

Haven't read the book but I imagine that the MAIN reason private schools are better is that they don't have nearly the number of administrators trying to justify their existence attached to them.

Texas Public Policy Foundation There is little dispute that Texas faces
considerable mobility challenges in its urban areas. But when it comes
down to how to address those challenges, the consensus disappears. Some
elected officials - particularly in North Texas - continue to push for
new taxes that could cost Texas drivers more than $20 billion over th...e
next decade. But as the Texas Public Policy Foundation's vice president
of policy and communications Justin Keener wrote in the Dallas Morning
News last week, there is a fiscally responsible alternative to fix our
transportation system.

Capital Formation, analyzed how cap and trade, renewable energy
mandates, and energy 'savings' dictates would specifically affect
Texas. Utilizing a version of the same model used by the U.S. Energy
Information Administration, the study quantifies the dyna...mic impact of
higher energy prices across all sectors of the economy."
