AFP Foundation and Lone Star Foundation host policy forum
Texas has the most vibrant economy in the country today. We Texans may from time to time take for granted the relative good economy we are enjoying here in the Lone Star State. Few citizens realize the progress Texas has made to be the best economy in the nation.
AFP-Texas Foundation is launching a new effort – Lone Star Strong (www.LoneStarStrong.com) to show how limited-government policies result in economic expansion and prosperity. The first research paper for this site compares Texas' policies and economy to that of other states.
The paper written by Dr. Noel Campbell, Policy Matters: a Comparative Analysis of Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas and other States, looks at how policies have impacted economic growth and prosperity in the states.
At the same time, we realize that taxpayers are impacted by taxation and spending at the local level and the policy forum will feature an updated study by the Lone Star Foundation: RX for Property Tax Reform written by Will Lutz and David Hartman.
The public, media and policymakers and their staff are invited to attend the briefing.
