The following statement can be attributed to Tony Bennett, President & CEO of the Texas Association of Manufacturers:
The Texas Legislature adjourned sine die yesterday, and there is much work that all members can be proud of. Working across both chambers, and across party lines, Senators and Representatives came together to support all Texans, consumers and businesses alike. Those successes are especially important for Texas manufacturers:
The Legislature will meet later today for the First Called Session of the 88th Legislature. Manufacturers have long favored rate compression as the most equitable way to lower property taxes for all Texans. While legislators proposed many ideas to help Texas taxpayers in the 88th Regular Session, TAM encourages both chambers to enact rate compression in the First Called Session, a move that will provide help to all taxpayers equally, and in proportion to their share of the burden.
