Austin has the chance to lure Facebook into town, and city leaders are crediting Governor Rick Perry's Texas Enterprise Fund and the $1.4 million it is offering as a deciding factor in the deal. The Democrat running for governor, former Houston Mayor Bill White, is not so sure the fund should be given too much credit and questions whether or not tax dollars should be used in this way.



During a stop in Austin, White also speaks with KLBJ's Emily Trube about the homeless situation in Austin and how the problem can be addressed without relying solely on government money.

This week, the Legislative Budget Board released a report that predicts lawmakers will have to close a budget gap that will be between $11 and $15 billion during the next session. White says he does not think an across the board cut would be effective, rather he says the state needs to look at how the cost on vendor contracts can be reduced and how productivity could be increased.
