Sacramento, Calif. (AP) -- Reflecting on lessons learned on a two-day trip to the Lone Star state, Assembly Republicans said Thursday California needs to follow Texas' model of lower taxes and fewer regulations and legal hurdles to keep the economy growing.
GOP lawmakers led a delegation of California representatives to meet with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a Republican, and spoke to business owners about why they left California last week.
Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway of Tulare said the trip affirmed her caucus is on the right track with a package of bills she says would help California companies thrive. The Republican package of bills includes tax exemptions and credits for businesses and would repeal regulations they say are burdensome.
"I think in Texas we learned that Gov. Perry understands job creation is an important part of solving your state's budget problems," Conway said during a news conference held at a fast-food restaurant in Sacramento.
