White Addresses Business Growth

TYLER — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Bill White makes another visit to Tyler, this time to promote business growth. He stopped at Stanley’s Famous Pit BBQ to make his case. White supports re-examination of the Texas Enterprise Fund, created to support job creation projects. The former Houston mayor says many firms that took money from the fund have not added jobs. White says economic development money should be put in the hands of chambers of commerce, other professionals, and business people representing their regions — not the hands of politicians.
