The state of Texas, under the leadership of Governor George W. Bush, is ranked:

 50th.  Spending for teachers salaries

 49th    spending on the environment

 1st.    % of poor working parents w/o insurance

 47th.   Delivery of social services

 42nd.  Child support collections

 5th.     % of population living in poverty

 1st.     % of children without insurance

 1st.     Air and water pollution
