Governor
Robert Bentley released the following statement upon voter approval of
Amendment 2, which will help the state attract more jobs from new and
expanding industries:
"I
want to thank the people of Alabama for approving Amendment 2 and
allowing us to continue bringing more new jobs to this state," Governor
Bentley said. "Since
taking office, my Administration has announced well over 26,000 new jobs
for communities across Alabama. Amendment 2 will allow us to build on
that progress. Job creation remains my number-one priority, and my
efforts to attract more jobs will continue until
everyone who wants a job is able to find one."
