The 81st Texas Legislature is right around the corner and will be addressing issues as vast and important as workforce issues, property taxes, healthcare reform and most importantly the new business tax, also known as the margins tax.
NFIB will again play a key role in bringing the small business agenda to the table concerning all these issues and many more. As you know, mending or ending the margins tax will be our biggest priority.
