Leading Change for the greater good
Having been anointed with the position to rule over the new government of Texas, I have developed three key issues that are in desperate need of reformation to better the standard of living and educate our civilians. Although Texas was a very self-sustaining with massive economy just in its self, we also received many funding grants to help cushion our day to day lives.
