Braun Proposes Amendments to Galveston Bay Authority Bill
Rep Rex Braun of Houston pushes amendments to the Galveston Bay Area Authority bill to expand the board to 17 and add Baytown Pasadena Texas City plus Houston and Galveston as appointing entities. He seeks Harris County elections, broader county appointments, stricter water standards, and local control to tackle Gulf Coast pollution. Braun argues the original bill lacked Baytown and other cities representation and could be more independent and local.
