Study: Texas ranks as the state with nation's lowest quality of life
During a stop in San Antonio to tout his school-voucher plan, Gov. Greg Abbott told the crowd that "in Texas, if you seek to be anything other than No. 1, then you are not a Texan." Someone needs to break it to the Republican governor that under his watch CNBC ranked Texas as having the worst quality of life of any U.S. state. The cable news network conducts the ranking annually in conjunction with its America’s Top States for Business study, during which Texas slipped to No. 6 — its first time not to finish in the top five since 2007.
