Texas Governor Rick PerryAUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas Gov. Rick Perry is airing radio ads in
California to convince companies there to relocate to the Lone Star
state.
A public-private marketing partnership called TexasOne is
paying for the 30-second advertisement that touts the state's low taxes
and industry-friendly regulations along with strict limits on lawsuits.
In
the ad, Perry says that he hears "building a business in California is
next to impossible." He calls on California businesses to "come check
out Texas."
The ads will air in the San Francisco, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Inland Empire and San Diego media markets for a week.
Perry
regularly travels to California to convince companies to move their
operations to Texas. The governor likes to brag that Texas has the
fastest growing job market in the nation.
