Water bond plan seeks private investment and new commission
A Texas water funding proposal would use private investment to finance projects and expand the Water Development Board. The plan raises the property tax to 43 cents per $100, limits state aid to one third or $50 million per project, and replaces the three member water engineers with a six member commission earning 5000 annually. The commission would appoint a full time state water engineer and meet monthly. Governor appoints all members from different districts. The article names Marvin C. Nicholas, E H Klein, David W Ratliff, Bill Wood, and Stanley Banks as participants.
