It appears Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has thrown the Lone Star state's hat into the ring as a suitor for the headquarters of Connecticut-based General Electric, according to a report by Hearst Connecticut Media Group.
The news group obtained a one-page letter Abbott reportedly sent to General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt promising the company a smaller tax bill and lots of economic incentives
.In the letter, Abbott said he was sure governors throughout the United States were writing similar letters to Immelt after he spoke openly about his displeasure with Connecticut's proposed $700 million increase in taxes on businesses over the next two years.
"But how many of my colleagues just passed a total relief tax package of $3.8 billion like we did last week in Texas," according to the report. General Electric has formed an exploratory committee to look for alternate locations for its corporate campus. And if the committee looked in North Texas, they'd find plenty of options.

Jeffrey Immelt coming to Texas. What a treat. Sarc/
Tell him to keep his yankee mouth shut and mind his manners.
Yes, that was my thought, too. Bring GE, ban Immelt.
Lefties moving into Texas is Californication. Part of a ‘rat plot.
Ok, I’ve spotted the location for him. How about Mentone?
Or what...you'll burn a cross on his lawn?
Not only your Southern border is being invaded now the Northeast wants to invade.
The great, undiscovered metropolis of Mentone, TX, one of my favorite places. Not during rush hour though.

What three rattle snakes, two jack rabbits and six lizards?
County seat and only town in Loving County. Drilled quite a few wells up the road north of town. Had a pretty good chunk of some kind of meat for dinner there at the restaurant one evening... I was desperate.
Bring GE, ban ANY liberal yankee, including Immelt.
Immelt is a NWO drone and does what he’s told. He’ll stay in CT.
Immelt shouldn’t be insulted?
OK, but definitely Immelt.
As of today, there are six jack rabbits. Rabbits being rabbits :)
You proved my point very well.
For giving some thought to moving thousands of jobs to Texas?
No I don’t.
So you decided to make a cross burning insult against a Southern freeper, because the freeper wanted him to keep his mouth shut and “mind his manners” if he moved to Texas?
