The state is having to make staggering budgetary decisions on things like education, health care, and infrastructure because it is running a 10 digit deficit. Therefore, you can be certain that legislators will give Austin $25 million every year to help a sport that most of them, when they learn of its existence, will find vaguely Belgian. This will happen, of course, the instant a Laredo parking lot freezes-over in July.
