Statement by Gov. Perry on Texas Comptroller’s Revenue Estimate

Gov. Rick Perry released the following statement regarding Comptroller Susan Combs' biennial revenue estimate:

"Today's revenue estimate is more evidence that we made the right decisions two years ago by budgeting carefully to meet the challenges of the national recession. The Texas formula of low taxes, reasonable regulations, fair courts and a quality workforce is the best way to continue creating jobs and growing our economy. Even as we head into the 83rd Legislative Session with higher revenues, we still need to focus on separating our wants from our needs, and continue to follow the conservative fiscal principles that have led to Texas' ongoing success and will keep Texas strong."
