CEO Comments |

“Texas is the best state for business and I don’t see anything to slow TX down. The education and quality of eligible employees is excellent right now. Business is booming and growing quicker and more rapidly in 2014 than any other year. It’s an exciting time in Texas.”
“Texas enables doing business easy, and Austin specifically is an attractive city to many young high-tech workers.” “Texas should do away with business franchise tax and it would be even better.” “Texas is very bad about collecting taxes from non-Texan companies. The same can be said for Georgia.” |
