Over at Breitbart, Chuck DeVore -- the Vice President of Policy at the Texas Public Policy Foundation -- has an excellent article smacking down the critics of Texas. Mr. DeVore undertakes a point-by-point dismantling of a nonsensical attack on Texas by "an 'expert' in urban planning and transportation matters" from North Carolina. DeVore's piece is well worth the read, and I'll add some data to further buttress the economic defence of Texas over states like California.
