It’s Time to Get to Work on Behalf of Small Businesses

AUSTIN (Jan. 17, 2023) – Upon Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick announcing their support for property tax relief during their swearing-in ceremonies, NFIB State Director Annie Spilman issued the following statement: “With a roughly $33 billion budget surplus, small business owners are eager for the Texas Legislature to pass needed reforms to keep the Lone Star State competitive and open for business. From cutting the inventory tax to ensuring regulatory consistency, there is work to be done to shore up Main Street’s recovery, which continues to battle historically high inflation, a worker shortage, and a looming recession. We look forward to working with the Legislature on behalf of small businesses.” To learn more about NFIB’s ‘Cut the Inventory Tax,’ visit NFIB.com/TexasTaxCut To learn more about NFIB’s priorities in the 88th legislative session, CLICK HERE.
