3 Criticisms to Texas #1 Economic Development Ranking

As loyal subscribers know, Site Selection Magazine designated Texas the #1 state for economic development.

There are those who oppose economic development programs. Their key phrases are subsidies and corporate welfare, and here are their 3 topline arguments:

• If Texas cut back on corporate subsidies , Texas “could pay the tuition for every college applicant in the state each year, with $500 million left over”
• Texas steers billions from public services to subsidies
• Texas ranks low on household economic security, school spending, public health

Know your opponent, like you know yourself.
