The Texas Miracle is not an accident, it is a product of state legislative policies that promote a pro-business climate, and prevent burdensome regulations. Today, the Texas Senate passed my priority legislation, Senate Bill 14 — a bill that protects Texas small businesses from local job-killing ordinances. Texas business owners don’t need city hall telling them how to run their business or treat their employees. This bill gives Texas job creators the certainty they need to recover, invest and grow.
