How much is due to Perry, and how much to economic factors in place before he took office?
You should click the link. It’s a great article and it’s not a Perry puff piece. It actually addresses your question. It really is a fair picture of Texas and Perry.
Bingo. Texas has a history of economic opportunity that pre-dates Rick’s arrival on the planet. Let’s see Rick explain away his Franchise Tax as a replacement for income tax revenues here in Texas that hurts small business owners. Let’s see Rick explain away $400+ M in fraud waste and abuse under his “pay for jobs” ETF/TEF scheme. Let’s see Rick explain away propping up failed green energy companies with millions of dollars. Rick can take credit for job growth in Texas, but most Texans know better.
If you read the article, Texas has been a tiger state for 175 years.
