Box 12428 Austin, TX 78711 Dear Governor: Please let me share some good news with you---Texas is on the road to economic recovery! I wanted to share that news with you because I recalled the interest you showed in Texas sometime back by asking for a copy of our book "Why Texas Is Growing." Much has happened to Texas since that book was published, but the road ahead now is clear: a comeback, a solid, steady path, lies ahead for our much more diversified economy. By late summer, we will have a new book coming off the presses to give you a full update on why in the coming years "It's Texas/Here's Why." But in the meantime, I thought you might be interested in a special edition of our Fiscal Notes monthly publication devoted to the Texas economic recovery. I hope you enjoy the enclosed copy. Warmest personal regards, BOB BULLOCK Comptroller of Public Accounts BB/wps Enclosure de
