texas governor rick perry wants to lure biotech companies to relocate to texas with a personal pitch made at the bio international convention in chicago. "god bless you, and we'll see you in texas." "i would suggest that it's as competative as anywhere. these are companies that can move around. we have to show that our environment is conducive to business and that we have the obvious workforce." perry's appearance follows a week-long series of radio and print ads in chicago costing $80,000 and paid for by a texas marketing group promoting texas as a better place for business than illinois. "the private sector gets to keep more of its money, and that's what makes the quality of life a draw for biotech companies." perry is hardly the only suitor trying to catch biotech's eye. in fact, nearly every state and a lot of countries have set up booths at the convention. as an industry, biotech is bouncing back. twelve biotechs went public last year. the head of one of them, san diego-based regulus therapeutics, predicts as many as 20 may go public this year on the calculated risk for a payoff
