Senator Nelson Supporting Small Business Relief Package

Senator Nelson today announced the filing of SB 19, the Small Business Stimulus Package, which seeks to reduce the franchise tax burden on small businesses in Texas. Senator Nelson is a co-author of the bill. "Tax relief is precisely the type of stimulus we need here in Texas, especially for our small business owners who struggling in this economy," Senator Nelson, who co-owns and operates an aircraft component manufacturing company in Denton, said. "Small business owners provide the majority of jobs in Texas. They represent the lifeblood of our state economy, which is faring far better than other states. It is vital that we keep our small business healthy and productive."
