Texas water bond plan faces defeat but may return
Leaders push for a fresh vote on the $3.6 billion water bond to fund Texas share of the $9 billion water plan after last week's constitutional amendments election. Voters supported welfare and college loan bonds but rejected four other measures. The Senate will tackle a new tax bill as the House-passed $341 million revenue plan awaits compromise. First college student loan bonds of $14 million were sold with an effective rate of 5.4162 percent.
