Waco, TX (FOX 44<\/a>) \u2014 At an event held tonight at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, Governor Greg Abbott made an appearance in support of Pat Curry.<\/p>\n

Gov. Greg Abbott spoke about several policy issues he said Pat Curry has supported.<\/p>\n

Governor Abbott said repeat violent offenders are responsible for hundreds of homicides in Houston and called for tougher laws to keep them in jail.<\/p>\n

He also said only U.S. citizens should vote in elections.<\/p>\n

Abbott said rising property taxes and higher insurance costs are driving up the cost of living in Texas and urged lawmakers to lower insurance rates while continuing property tax relief.<\/p>\n

He also credited state leadership for Texas\u2019s economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a couple of decades ago that Texas was ranked as the worst state in America for doing business, and with leadership over a two-decade time period, we\u2019ve gone from worst to first,\u201d Governor Greg Abbott said. \u201cTexas has been ranked the number one state for doing business for 21 years in a row.\u201d<\/p>\n
