Gov. Perry promotes Texas in the Big Apple
By Corrie MacLaggan
Gov. Rick Perry is in New York City today and tomorrow to promote Texas as a business and relocation destination.
Today, the governor spoke at the NASDAQ Closing Bell Ceremony, where he said that Texas is about more than boots, hats and barbecue.
“We all know that the global economy is struggling and our country’s going through one of the toughest economic cycles in our lifetimes, but we’ve come here with a message of optimism, with word that there’s still a place in this country where jobs are welcome, where taxes are low, where regulations are predictable and, you might say also, frivolous lawsuits are a rare occurrence,” Perry said, “and that place is Texas.”

Andrade, Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert and DeSoto Mayor Bobby Waddle. Also with him, according to the governor’s office, are economic development representatives from the cities of
