State Bond Issue Aid To Sul Ross
A March 14 report from Austin notes Senate Bill 122 to remove the state general fund deficit by mining bonds. Wages for state college staff, including Sul Ross State College, would gain as warrants shift from cash discounts. Vendors to state institutions would bid higher to offset warrant discounts, potentially lowering material costs if paid in cash. Supporters argue the bill would boost appropriations and purchasing power for state colleges and related institutions, benefiting teachers, drivers, witnesses, and officials.
