Man I'm surprised to see Minnesota so close to the top. I take it lower numbers are better in that study?

Not surprising to see Texas is #1 though...they really have a good thing going for them (One of the best states in the US IMO)

except in education, and health-care, and criminal justice, and environmental protections...

Depends on how you define "best", if we're to be honest here.  In my opinion, I would not consider having the most "environmental protections" to be a positive thing.   Education and health care measures of "good" are probably due to the schools and hospitals going into bankruptcy because Texas is forced to educate illegals and give them all free care.  Criminal justice scoring low is probably due to the inherent bias in the court system against minorities.  That's one place where I agree with my friends on the left.  Rich white people almost never get the death penalty.
