State Comptroller Susan Combs has been doing an exceptional job in establishing and overseeing the Victory Texas 2010 (http://www.victorytexas.org/) on behalf of the Republican Party of Texas. The Comptroller has hired an excellent staff, headed by Victory Executive Director Jarod Love, and is already well into its planning stages for a victorious November effort. Jarod Love recently outlined the Victory program at the County Chairman and SREC Leadership Conference on Saturday, July 17. He unveiled an exciting home calling, phone banking and block walking program. His staff has been exceptionally cooperative in working with RPT staff to make this effort a success.
Texas State Comptroller Susan Combs just returned to Austin from Silverstone, England where she and her husband got to experience Formula 1 up close and personal.
"I wanted to go see firsthand what do the facilities look like? How do they handle crowds? How do they handle security? How do they handle access? How do they handle amenities? What can we do to improve upon? How can we make this really an Austin, Texas event?" added Combs.
They say everything in Texas is big, and that sure goes for its stature in business.
With the biggest point total in the history of our study, Texas posts a big victory as America’s Top State for Business 2010.
Top Five
Texas reclaims the top spot from last year’s winner, Virginia, which slips to No. 2. Texas was last on top in 2008, and Virginia took the crown in the inaugural year of our study, 2007. That leaves Texas and Virginia dead even in the battle for bragging rights at two wins apiece.
Rounding out the top five are No. 3 Colorado, No. 4 North Carolina, and No. 5 Massachusetts, which makes its first appearance among America’s Top States for Business.
