Texas Passes Proposition 15

I've never been more proud to be a Texan than I am today. Yesterday, Texans went to the polls and passed Proposition 15, a state constitutional amendment that will create the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas. The finally tally was 62.73% in favor and 37.27% in opposition. This important piece of legislation will allocate $3 Billion over the next 10 years towards the fight against cancer. I'm proud that Texas is leading the way in the US in the quest for the prevention and cure of a disease that affects 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women.
