The
dramatic population and economic growth experienced in Texas during
the 1970s is expected to continue throughout the rest of the century. We
will be increasingly challenged to use our natural resources productively
and carefully, provide government services that are essential and economical,
and maintain and improve our quality of life."
The Texas 2000 Commission agrees with that assessment. Our first
task was to identify and study issues critical to the continued health and
vitality of the Texas economy and quality of life. Then, we focused on
determining recommendations for action that are consistent with the
appropriate roles of Texas State government. While the responsibility for
implementing these recommendations will rest with others, we offer a
suggestion: Implementation should begin with the widespread dissemination
of this report to Texans. It is crucial that individuals have the
opportunity to respond to it. These are issues and recommendations
which require statewide understanding and support.
