NEW YORK — Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Tuesday, June 18, said his efforts to lure companies out of New York and to his state is similar to a sports final series between rival teams, and that states are in a competition with each other over businesses and jobs.
“It’s no different than, I would think, if the Knicks were in the finals playing the San Antonio Spurs, they’d be willing to win all the games,” he said after a meeting at a Park Avenue office building. “The same’s true with business, the same’s true with jobs.”
