TEXASForward� is a coalition of organizations promoting a balanced approach to state budget decisions. The member organizations represent a broad spectrum of interests, but all believe that meeting the needs of Texans and moving our state forward to greater prosperity and opportunity will require more than just belt-tightening and cuts in education, healthcare and other vital public services.  A balanced approach will protect our state's economic well-being and will end up being less costly to future Texans who bear the brunt of the lasting damage caused by disinvesting in services.
