Americans for Prosperity State Director Peggy Venable spoke at the bill signing ceremony in Amarillo this week where Gov. Rick Perry signed the 2012-2013 Texas Budget into law. Below is an excerpt from her speech:
Texas legislators balanced our state budget without raising taxes, all while protecting the rainy day fund – and they did it in all in only 170 days.
Our state leaders can’t vote “present” like U.S. Senators. State officials are held accountable for their decisions.
Congress and the federal government could learn from The Lone Star State. It is not by accident that Texas is a beacon of fiscal responsibility and the top state for job creation. It is thanks to strong conservative leadership and policies that create an environment for prosperity and job growth.
