SAN ANTONIO – Gov. Greg Abbott on Friday paid a visit to San Antonio to talk about the state’s economic successes and current legislative efforts during a fireside chat at a luncheon hosted by the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce and greater:SATX.
“Success doesn’t just happen–it’s the result of years of tireless work,” Abbott said. “Because of the hard work of business and community leaders, like those of you here today, San Antonio is a huge success. With a strong, pro-growth agenda this session, we will keep Texas the number one state in the nation for economic development and job creation. Working together, we will make sure our state’s economy continues to provide boundless opportunities for every Texan.”
Abbott was joined in the fireside chat by FirstDay Foundation President and CEO Kevin Dinnin and greater:SATX President and CEO Jenna Saucedo-Herrera.
The governor also summarized the legislative efforts during the 88th Legislative Session that would ensure Texas’ continued economic growth. Policies mentioned by the governor included: providing new strategic economic development tools, statewide infrastructure upgrades, property tax cuts, regulatory reforms, workforce development, and education freedom for all Texans.
During his State of the State address last month, Abbott announced education freedom for all Texans and cutting property taxes as emergency items for the 88th Legislature.
