Governor Perry's Remarks at Cedar Park event

Wed, 05/09/2012 - 6:15pm – manager

Thank you. It is great to be in Cedar Park.

I want to thank Dr. Charles Schwertner for his kind introduction.

I want you to know I am 100 percent behind Dr. Schwertner’s campaign in the race for the Texas Senate.

He is a tried and true conservative who is dedicated to limited government, and creating unlimited opportunity.

Plus, I’m getting old and you never know when you may need a good orthopedic surgeon.

I also want you to know I support your outstanding councilman who is running for the state legislature, Tony Dale.

Take the Texas Budget Compact to your local Republican Convention This Weekend

Fri, 04/20/2012 - 2:56pm – manager

This week I announced my Texas Budget Compact, which I believe is critical to keeping our state budget balanced, keeping government growth and spending in check and keeping Texas jobs and economy growing.

The Texas Budget Compact includes truth-in-budgeting reforms to end payment deferrals and other budgetary shell games, a stricter spending cap and a renewed commitment to fund the priorities of our state without raising your taxes.

Gov. Perry Announces EA to Expand Austin Facility, Creating 300 Jobs

July 18, 2011

Office of the Governor

Gov. Rick Perry was joined by EA Games President Frank Gibeau and EA Sports COO Daryl Holt to announce that EA is expanding its Austin operations and creating 150 full-time jobs and 150 contract positions. The governor credited Texas' sound economic principles for helping grow the video game industry in the state.

"On behalf of the State of Texas, I'd like to congratulate EA on expanding its presence in Austin, and welcome the quality jobs that will be created here as a result," Gov. Perry said. "Much like the video gaming industry, our state is built on the foundation of competition; thanks to our low taxes, reasonable and predictable regulatory climate, fair legal system and skilled workforce, we continue to attract companies from around the nation."

Break the spend-and-borrow cycle

July 14, 2011

The Washington Post

Rick Perry and Nikki Haley

As governors of states whose residents, like all Americans, are desperate for the restoration of fiscal responsibility in Washington, we are proud to have signed the “Cut, Cap and Balance Pledge” amid the debate over once again raising the federal debt ceiling.

We oppose an increase in the federal debt limit unless three common-sense conditions are met: substantial cuts in spending; enforceable spending caps to put the country on a path to a balanced budget; and congressional passage of a balanced-budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That amendment should include a requirement for a congressional supermajority to approve any raises in taxes.

At heart, the pledge represents the reality that yet another temporary fix to our nation’s budgetary woes is no fix at all. The time has come for all of us to begin holding the federal government to the same common-sense standards in place in most states, including South Carolina and Texas.

"This announcement is great news for South Texas and for the Lone Star State as we continue to attract companies from around the world to create jobs in Texas thanks to our low taxes, reasonable and predictable regulatory climate, fair legal system and skilled workforce."
