Neff vetoes flood control reduction in Texas
Governor Neff vetoed the Price House bill cutting a $600,000 flood control appropriation to $363,000. The first veto of the session preserves the original funding and allows the State Board of Water Engineers to proceed with reservoir-site plans across the state. He said funds would not be spent unless necessary and emphasized flood control is too important to shrink.
