Interesting economy article - TX vs. CA

Re: Interesting economy article - TX vs. CA

I'm a little surprised by the low education numbers, but everything else about Texas makes me want to move there. I still can't believe the cost of living vs white collar salaries in TX, you get a lot more for your money than MN.

For example, all scratch-off lottery proceeds benefit education much like MN's supports the environment. Currently, while MN cuts education funding TX is expanding it.

*edit*
Here is the link. MN doesn't make an appearance on this high school list until #115 but TX is all over it (including #1).
