Allred Vetoes Bill Limiting River Canal Directors
Governor James V. Allred vetoed a bill from the recent special session that would change how directors of the San Antonio River Canal District are appointed. The veto cited constitutional term issues and concerns over appointive powers, noting vacancies would be filled by officials beyond the governor. A second veto blocked a resolution allowing H. Davis to sue the state and UT over the northeast boundary of the San Tlizarry grant, arguing the chosen venue in El Paso county was improper for state lands matters.
