Dallas News has recommended current Lt. Governor David Dewhurst to be elected again for the third time during this November Election. Dewhurst has been the Lt. Governor of Texas since 2003. Dallas News feels that since Dewhurst has invaluable knowledge of state agencies which would help alleviate some of the state's $21B budget deficit. They also feel that he has a sense of fairness and can help "spread the pain around".
Dallas News also believes he did a good job with state's water, transportation and educational issues. He hasn't killed bills that would help the state grow. They feel he is better suited than the Democrat nominee Linda Chavez-Thompson.
In my opinion, I believe that Dallas News is right in recommending Mr. Dewhurst to continue being the Lt. Governor. I haven't been in Texas long enough to know any other Lt. Governor, however, from what I have seen, he has done a good job. During a time when a lot of states has faced many issues, Texas has stood strong. It is one of the reasons why many people has moved to Texas. I agree that education, water and transportation are important issues to Texas. Texas is one of the fastest growing states and its infrastructures has to be updated in order to meet the needs of the new population.
I believe Dallas News was targeting the general Texan voting population and trying to influence them to vote this November election and vote for Dewhurst. Dallas News does a good job of engaging its readers and providing solid evidence. How influential is this editorial? We might have to wait until November to find out.
