is not common knowledge. This history starts with the deceit of the early 1990s GOP Campaign to over take Texans with the corrupt Conservative government that Texas has now.

http://www.txpeer.org/Bush/Public_Land.html

I think gubernatorial candidate Gregg Abbott is making untrustworthy campaign promises that the Texas Tea Legislator has absolutely no intentions of keeping. The character of conservative Texas politicians is disturbing, in my opinion. Texas could lose the state parks's federal funding by the misdirection of money dedicated to the Texas Parks and Wildlife. Just how much money has been diverted and where the money was diverted to, is another story.

All Texans should get out and vote in Nov 2014.
