The Alliance for Securing and Strengthening the Economy in Texas (ASSET), a coalition of business groups representing millions of Texas employers, released the following statement after Governor Greg Abbott’s 2021 State of the State address:
“Governor Abbott is leading with an agenda that will foster economic growth and allow opportunities for individual Texans to flourish. This agenda will help the Texas economy continue to recover by removing regulations that stifle job creation and by keeping business decisions with businesses, rather than government. Given the uncertainty facing businesses and employees, we are also encouraged by the Governor’s emphasis on preparing workers to meet the demands of our dynamic Texas economy. We look forward to working with Governor Abbott and legislators from both parties to advance the sensible, pro-growth priorities the Governor has articulated.”
