SAHCCs new offices will be located at The Pearl formerly known as the Pearl Brewery.

Gov. Perry also expressed the need for the Federal Government to exercise fiscal restraint and keep taxes low on businesses.
These same employers that are creating jobs for Texans are also facing a big tax increase if the Obama administration allows the Bush tax credits to
expire" Gov. Perry said.
This is the key reason that I have called for a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution so that Washington would have to exercise the same fiscal restrain that sensible businesses and families have long employed."
