Texas #1 in relocation - AGAIN

Texas is #1 AGAIN…

Texas may be well known for its tasty barbeque, rowdy cowboys and friendly nature, but it also boasts a solid employment base, low tax rates and some of the nation’s most affordable housing. And in these challenging economic times, those qualities can look particularly attractive to families and businesses looking to move to a place where they can plant some roots. So it’s no surprise that more people chose to relocate to Texas in 2008 than any other state, according to Allied Van Lines’ 41st Annual Magnet States Report released this month.

This is the third year in a row that Texas has topped the list for relocation in the US. And it’s no wonder. Texas leaders have worked hard to keep Texas citizen-centered, and to make sure that we keep more of our hard-earned money in our pockets.

It’s thanks to folks like Americans For Prosperity members who support policies which keep state government from taxing, spending and regulating us too much. And thanks to the Texas leaders who promote good fiscal policies.

Washington, D.C., and the rest of the states would do well to follow Texas’ strong lead.
