Snelson proposes plan to cut school bond costs in Texas
Senator Pete Snelson outlines a plan at a Capitol press conference to use the Permanent School Fund as a guarantee for local school bonds. He says the move would save about 1,000 districts money on bonds, with no cost to the state, and notes strong fund growth to 9.4 billion by 1990. A front-end fee of 0.25 percent would fund a reserve for emergencies.
