Texas prospers only when small business prospers. That was the message Wednesday from Governor Rick Perry. He hosted a small business summit in Lubbock aimed at providing area small businesses with tools to succeed. Governor Perry said, "We are the engine that drives the economy of the state of Texas. 98% of the business generated in the state of Texas is by small businesses."
Perry says Texas could further help small employers by passing comprehensive tax reforms in the upcoming special legislative session.
