Perry's Raids The Texas Enterprise Fund

The Dallas Morning News: Report Says Texas Enterprise Fund not creating jobs as promised.

Farouk Shami says, "Once again, Rick Perry has shown Texas what failed leadership looks like. The Texas Enterprise Fund has been raided to provide benefits to corporations that are not delivering on the promise to bring jobs to Texas. We need to utilize the Texas Enterprise Fund (EF) to provide small grants to businesses employing 25 or fewer people that have a strong business plan and will be able to grow with the added capital, in addition to using the fund to close deals with large corporations. The small businessman is the backbone of the Texas economy."
