Abbott lauds role of small business in historic state budget

AUSTIN – Gov. Greg Abbott marked Texas’ record-shattering jobs economy and the role small businesses play in keeping Texas a national economic leader at the Governor’s Small Business Summit in McAllen.

“Small businesses are a key part of the Texas economic juggernaut,” Abbott said last Thursday at the summit.

“Thanks to every one of you here today who serve as the engine of the booming Texas economy,” Abbott said. “Texas continues to rank as the ‘Best State for Business’ and is the nation’s top state for small business job growth. Because of our dedication to cutting red tape across the state and investing in the workforce of tomorrow, there is no better place to start and grow a small business than Texas.”
