[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 1056071, member: 24302"] Fuel is certainly cheaper than on the coasts, but I was paying $3.44 a gallon before leaving 3 months ago. Air quality isn't an issue in most areas. There's a big boom in oil production as well as natural gas. The influx of people from other areas looking for work helped the economy too as they all needed housing, food, etc. A major reason Texas is doing ok despite the economy is since the last downturn the state gov't has encouraged the relocation of many businesses from around the country looking for lower costs. Thus the economy is much more diversified. The border has done a lot better with maquiladora trade. No state income tax either, which saves people more than water bills. A lot of reasons Texas is doing well, and Perry is seen by the majority as having been a good mgr. Keeps getting reelected. The drought is over by the way and where I was at in east Texas we were getting heavy rain for a year. Filled our huge reservoirs to the brim. [/QUOTE]
