A truly balanced budget adequately funds today's needed public
services and prepares Texas
for future demands caused by changing demographics, technology, and
economic competition.
A truly balanced budget is supported by taxes that are imposed
equitably on families of different income levels and businesses in
different sectors.
Revenue to fund a truly balanced budget is generated from sources
that will grow along with the growth in need for public services.
Shuffling money among under-funded programs and shifting the cost
of public services off the state budget conceal the true need for more
state resources.
A truly balanced budget is developed in an open and transparent
process.
