Small towns to get counseling help in Texas plan
A Texas Industrial Commission study probes a proposal to create a state clearinghouse for small manufacturers in rural towns. Rep. Dave Finney chairs the committee backing the plan, citing UT finance professor Ernest W. Walker for expert input. The program would provide finance training and management advice, with university experts supplying assistance to small firms unable to hire private consultants. The measure faces cost and feasibility scrutiny before state action.
