Dallas school with ties to Craddick sees funds leap

HoustonChronicle.com - Dallas school with ties to Craddick sees funds leap: "A University of Texas medical school in Dallas — which has named an endowed chair honoring House Speaker Tom Craddick — will receive more new state tax dollars over the next two years than all of the UT health facilities in the Houston area combined.

Craddick and House budget writers say the endowed chair honor had nothing to do with a $57 million jump in state spending for the UT Southwestern Medical Center."
