Almighty and everlasting god, in whose name we trust and pray, it is fitting to pause if but momentarily to recognize you, the one in whom does finally reside all authority and power and by whose grace we are allowed to exercise that which you have committed to us. Accept our homage, o lord, and hear us when we pray for wisdom to lead with integrity, compassion and conviction. We are mindful that around the world today our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines and coastguardsmen are standing the watch to safeguard our peace and liberty. Grant to all who serve and their families your blessings. Accept, o lord, these prayers and may we perceive and know what things to do and receive g
A month. Why . Because we dreamt like every other american. It was no longer what you could become but what opportunities your children will have. Education has been the great equalizer in this country. And theres no greater place to do that than allowing those that may not have great wealth, but have a great opportunity with their children a 529 account. But like anything, we should modernize it, because education changes just as technology changes. Could you imagine today sending your child to college, but to tell them to learn without having a computer . Isnt that a part of the Education System, too. Well, thats what this 529 account does. Today, when we talk on the floor its really about the future. Its about the future of every Single Family from every walk of life.

Up certainly not the length of time that i have done it but with that said let me share with you what i have been doing for the last 18 to 24 months because i think thats the most timely period and going forward. I dont think there is a more important job for chief executive weather is a governor, a head of boeing, whether its the president of the United States than helping create a climate where people know that they can risk their capital and have a return on their investment and be able to create jobs and in turn to create the wealth of your entity. So that its been my major focus as the governor. I from time to time will get distracted off of that but i always try to return back to that is the single most important reason that i do in my position to help create that environment and generally by tax policy and regulatory policies which in turn make for a Skilled Workforce and translate into that Skilled Workforce. Those are the four pillars if you will of what has happened in texas
