Jimmy Dorrell, Board of Contributors: Texas, our Texas, badly divided on poverty lines
posted on July 22 - 08:20 AM
I love Texas. I was born, reared, educated and raised my family right here in the Lone Star State. But through the years, I have come to understand things are not so “wonderful and great” as we sing and brag. It seems there are really two states of Texans who live within the same borders but experience very different citizenships and lifestyles.
The first group boasts of our unsurpassed accolades. Texas has the fastest population growth, most job gains, most exports, more miles of roads than any state and ranks first in crude oil, farms, ranches, cattle, sheep, goats, cotton and watermelons.
