Greg Abbott: ‘No words can fix’ devastation Texans went through last week. State will speak through actions
The governor’s televised speech came hours after overseers of the state’s electricity grid heard a harrowing account of how the system avoided an even worse disaster.
"For those of you still hurting, I want you to know that the state is using every resource to fix this problem," Gov. Greg Abbott said of Texans' suffering from power and water outages as a result of last week's bitter cold weather.
