Statement by Gov. Rick Perry on the Biennial Revenue Estimate

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry today issued the following statement on Comptroller
Susan Combs' Biennial Revenue Estimate:

"Today the comptroller delivered a revenue estimate that reflects the
uncertainty about the national economy, and to a lesser extent, the Texas
economy. While Texas continues to be in a better financial position than
most other states, this revenue estimate reminds us we are not an island and
reaffirms the importance of fiscal responsibility and prudent spending
decisions.

"I am confident we will be able to meet our state's needs within this
revenue estimate by prioritizing our spending."
