SEGUIN – Gov. Rick Perry today urged the Texas Legislature to continue appropriating funds to the Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) this session, citing investments in companies such as Caterpillar that have created thousands of jobs for Texans and attracted millions of dollars in capital investment. The governor spoke at the groundbreaking for Caterpillar’s manufacturing facility in Seguin.

Perry said. "This investment is proof positive that programs like the Texas Enterprise Fund are worthwhile uses of Texas taxpayer dollars, and I urge the Legislature to continue funding this essential component of our state’s competitive economic package."
