There is a meanness in Texas politics sometimes in which people fight the creation of everything that does not directly benefit them. Children should not get free school lunches because their children do not get free lunches. It matters little if one is rich and the one that benefits directly is poor. And, so it has been the argument to some extent concerning the creation of a new public law school in Texas at the University of North Texas in Dallas. Texas is in high growth mode and the seats are needed, but those that are not benefited directly by the creation of a new law school have fought it hard.
That has now ended, and now the hard work begins getting the law school up and open to meet its expected first entering class in the fall of 2011.
According to the Dallas Business Journal and other publications, Gov. Rick Perry signed into law to create and fund the UNT Law.
