Back in Texas, Bush's Legacy Comes Under Fire �George W. Bush is having an unusually tough time with the Texas Legislature. Many of the same lawmakers who passed tax cuts championed by Mr. Bush are now talking about future tax increases. Legislators in both parties agree that the state's charter schools, one of Mr. Bush's pet programs, need to be fixed. His signature environmental initiative is regarded as weak, and legislators are debating how much it should be toughened. Lawmakers also are considering easing enrollment requirements in Medicaid � a move resisted during Mr. Bush's tenure � so more poor children can be covered. And lawmakers are moving forward on several death penalty fronts, including a bill similar to one Mr. Bush vetoed two years ago that sponsors say would help provide better lawyers for indigent defendants. Just today, the Texas House of Representatives gave preliminary approval to a bill that would ban the execution of mentally retarded inmates, a measure that failed in the House two years ago after Mr. Bush spoke out against it. http://www.nytimes.com/2001/04/24/politics/24TEXA.html?pagewanted=all
