Lewis appeals for water plan support in Texas
Texas House Speaker Gib Lewis urged about 1,100 water districts to back a statewide water plan, calling it the best possible effort though likely to be revised. He stressed water as a precious resource and underscored bipartisan backing with Gov. White and Lt. Gov. Hobby for a package including a constitutional change, $606 million in bonds, a $250 million bond guarantee, and provisions for water quality and groundwater control. The measures proceed through House committee hearings as support grows.
