Dysfunctional-see original story
This editor was born and raised in Lubbock,Texas. My family were public servants,my father did 28 years at fire department. I worked at the airport,power plant and parks department. Government locally is well past dysfunctional. Putrid,morally corrupt/foul odor, is more applicable. The two elected officials in the linked story have real problems like one's marriage crumbling and the other not being gainfully employed most of their life. That being said the other jokers at city hall spend too much time studying law,2 lawyers. Another member is a full time Roman Empire(bible) book lecturer. Last but not least is Lubbock's fearless "country club" leader. I left out a career "traffic cop". With this "witch's brew" of alleged adults it's no wonder the term dysfunctional is being used as a label.
I believe "toxic" would be more effective than dysfunctional in describing my home town's current city council chemistry.

Cap on tuition rate in Texas moving forward
Public universities in Texas would have to offer students fixed four-year tuition prices under a bill that has cleared a key House vote. Gov. Rick Perry has hammered public universities about making college more affordable. A proposal by Republican state Rep. Dan Branch would offer locked-in tuition plans that prohibit universities from charging a student more in their senior year than what they paid as a freshman. The University of Texas system already offers fixed tuition at UT-El Paso and requires it at UT-Dallas. The UT System has also now instructed all campuses to offer fixed pricing. The offer is financially unpopular among some students because they pay more in an average rate in the short term. The bill still needs final House approval.

Shallowater property taxes to be collected by LCAD
WT Free Press has learned that the City of Shallowater will now have their property taxes collected by LCAD starting this year. Previously City of Shallowater billed property owners for city taxes and could terminate water service if property taxes became delinquent. Now City of Shallowater could find more "over 65,homesteaded" property owners using a "property tax deferral" to boycott property taxes in City of Shallowater. At least one property owner has gotten "sticker shock" after seeing an LCAD appraisal in comparison to their previous City of Shallowater appraisal. Previously LCAD took Shallowater City Hall appraisal rate of property inside Shallowater city limits.
