Bills would break Harris away from H GAC
Two Senate bills seek to remove Harris County from the Houston Galveston Area Council while Baytown officials push to keep the 13 county group intact. Baytown City Council passed resolutions opposing the measures, with Mayor Stephen DonCarlos warning of funding battles with Houston if Harris County exits. Senator Mario Gallegos Jr says the bills aim to ensure Harris County gets fuller funding and representation, proposing its own workforce board and regional planning commission, but Baytown lawmakers object to lacking input.
