Title: Pauken Discussing the Cost of Public Education in Texas
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Tom Pauken
with Tom Pauken For Texas
Part 1 of 2
Per pupil expenditures in Texas have grown from around $5,000 per
student per year in 1975 to around $11,000 per student per year today.
Some say we are not spending enough, while others say we need to focus on where
we are spending the money now.
In addition, the Texas Education Agency, the TEA, says our drop-out rate is
about 7.3 percent, while the Intercultural Development Research Association, the
IDRA, says the ‘attrition rate’ is about 26 percent. This is a perfect example
of the government “cooking the books”.
Tom Pauken, candidate for Governor, discusses the current state of public
education in Texas. For more on Tom, log on to

Title: Return on Our Investment in Public Education in Texas
Topic: Public Education
Discussed by Tom Pauken
with Tom Pauken For Texas
Part 2 of 2
Every year Texas public schools serve an increasing number of students. Since
2005, Texas has been adding an average of 80,000 new students per year. Texas
has one of the largest, most diverse student bodies in the country. We take
pride of our excellent public education opportunities in Texas, but adding more
students every year has its challenges, including the ever-increasing cost per
student.
With our graying population and the demands this will place on public assisted
health care programs, coupled with the explosive growth in public school student
population, where will the money come from to fund on the demands placed on
Texas government?
Candidate for Governor, Tom Pauken, has some ideas that just might work. Listen
in.

Title: Volunteers vs. Paid Political Workers: We are Betting Our Life on the Outcome!
Topic: Volunteers vs. Paid Workers
Discussed by Tom Pauken
with Tom Pauken For Texas
Recently, Greg Abbott, the current Texas Attorney General and candidate for Governor, addressed a crowd of Conservative activists. He stated that the Democrats have 2,500 paid workers in the State working to turn Texas blue.
He went on to state that he would take our crop of volunteers over a group of paid workers. I disagree.
If 2,500 paid workers only register two new voters a day, five days a week, four weeks a month, for twelve months, that amounts to 1,200,000 NEW registered voters. And they know how to turn their voters out on Election Day. We are in trouble, my friends. Listen in for more.

Abbott holds hands with Eric
Holder in stopping the merger of American Airlines with US Airways.
Conservatives adhere to free market principles. Helping Eric Holder veto the
merger of two companies with plans to revive their business is not the action of
someone who would implement conservative economic policies.
Are Texans tired of politicians picking winners and losers?
