Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s State of the State

Since everyone and their dog are talking about President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, I’m counter-programming by offering up Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s State of the State address.

A transcript can be found here.

Some super-high level bullet points:

  • The Texas economy is doing gangbusters. “Texas leads the nation in new job creation. And we have the fastest growing economy in America. A by-product of this success is a prosperity that touches all corners of our state. Texas recorded its lowest unemployment rate ever. And wages are rising.”
  • Education needs improvement.
  • Tax reform is a priority.
  • Still recovering from Harvey, and we need to upgrade infrastructure.
  • We need to do more to address gang violence, including on the border.
