Clayton pushes water fund plan for Texas surplus backing
Speaker Bill Clayton outlines a plan to save half of the state treasury surplus in a special water fund, creating a $25 billion to $95 billion bond backing for water projects over two decades. The proposal would shield the money from general spending and channel funds to three reserves, with bonds issued by cities river authorities and water districts. By 2000 the plan could back up to $95 billion in bonds if surpluses average $800 million per biennium. Gov. Clements previously urged saving surpluses for future water projects.
