What budget?

When It's Insiders vs. Outsiders

This article discusses what priorities those from Inside Intelligence differ from the UT/Tribune Poll. Provided in the article are unscientific statistics stating what the two groups thought were the most important. The groups were polled on current Texas affairs - one example being immigration. Other topics of the polls included satisfaction with the Texas government and satisfaction with Governor Perry. These polls were distributed right after the 2010 election.

I chose this article because of my fascination with statistics. To see what the two different groups thought were more of a priority was very interesting. 33.3% of Inside Intelligence thought that the budget shortfall was the most important whereas only 8% of the UT/Tribune thought that the budget shortfall was important. The majority of Inside Intell thought that Texas is not an ideal government model; UT/Tribune thought that Texas is an ideal model.
