The following can be attributed to Tony Bennett, president & CEO of the Texas Association of Manufacturers.

“As the Administrator for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency visits Texas to discuss environmental justice issues tomorrow, it is important to remember that Texas manufacturers have a long and successful track record as good neighbors in the communities where they operate. Rigorous operational standards and stringent regulations are working to keep communities, our workforce and the environment safe. For generations, manufacturers have invested locally, maintained strong relationships with neighbors, and supported a robust workforce, which has strengthened Texas communities.”
