Urges voters to dump proposal
Caperton scared of water fund
By RANDY CLEMENTS
Battalion Staff
State Senator Kent Caperton
Thursday urged local voters to re
ject the water fund amendment to
the state constitution in the
November general election and
discussed the redistricting of
legislative districts.
Texas has serious questions ab
out its water problems that must
be answered, Caperton, D-
College Station, said at a League
of Women Voters’ luncheon.
The November election will
have seven amendments on the
ballot.
“Of the seven,” he said, “I’m
going to vote against one of them. ”
The proposed water fund
amendment will authorize using
part of excess state revenues for
water development, water conser
vation, water quality enhance
ment and flood control purposes.
It also would authorize using
the state’s credit, not to exceed
$500 million, to guarantee local
government bonds for financing
water projects and increasing the
interest rate that may be paid on
previously approved but unissued
state bonds.
The proposed amendment,
listed as Proposition IV on the bal
lot, has three parts, Caperton
said.
Caperton said he’s in favor of
two parts of the proposition: in
creasing interest rates on bonds
and increasing the amount of cre
dit that can be used by state and
local governments for water pro
jects.
Caperton said Texas has never
had a dedicated fund without a
dedicated source of revenue.
“Never have we seen a dedi
cated fund coming from general
revenue money,” he said. “Never
have we seen an unnamed water
plan have untold amounts of
money put into it without knowing
what that plan was.
“It is a scary kind of proposition.
It is a radical departure from the
kind of pay-as-you-go policies
we’ve had in Texas for many
years.”
On the state legislative redis
tricting, Caperton criticized Lt.
Gov. Bill Hobby’s proposed
three-way division of Montgom
ery County.
A problem with Hobby’s plan,
he said, is the division of a county
as large as Montgomery County,
which has well over 100,000
people.
“He (Hobby) plans to divide it
down an unnatural line, basically
Interstate 45. There is a north-
south division, not an east-west
division,” Caperton said.
“The redistricting problem will
be resolved. If it’s politics versus
passing a plan that will be upheld
in court, there’s no question he
(Hobby) will go with the plan that
will be upheld in court.
The House of Representatives’
plan for redistricting, criticized by
the Texas Supreme Court, called
for unnecesary divisions, which
would result in incumbents run
ning against incumbents after the
redistricting goes into effect, he
said.

You’ve been trying to get to know her better since
the beginning of the term. And when she mentioned how
hard it is to study in the dorm, you said,
“My place is nice and quiet. Come on
over and study with me!’
Your roommates weren’t very
happy about it. But after a little
persuading they decided the double
feature at the Bijou might be worth
seeing.
They’re pretty special friends.
And they deserve a special “Thanks!’
So, tonight, let it be Lowenbrau.
Lowenbrau.IIere’s to good friends.
