Water trust fund criticized
United Press International
AUSTIN — The president of an
Mexican-American organization
termed the constitutional propos
al to establish a special trust fund
for future water projects a “Robin
Hood plan” in reverse.
“It would rob from the poor and
give to the rich,” said Richard
Moya, president of Mexican-
American Democrats. ‘ Skimming
off half the state fund surplus ev
ery legislative session to create a
half billion nest egg for water de
velopers will jeopardize funding
for already seriously underfunded
programs for the poor, services for
dependent children, the deaf and
the blind.
Moya said the only people the
plan will benefit are West Texas
farmers .with big irrigation pro
jects.
Forrest Burt, president of the
Texas Association of College
Teachers, said anyone concerned
with higher education in Texas
should oppose the water plan.
“The crucial issue is the desira
bility of tying up unknown sums of
money for specific purposes and
leaving less leeway to meet un
foreseen state needs, Burt said.
He noted surplus funds were
used in 1975 and 1981 to fund
emergency pay raises for state em
ployees and college faculty mem
bers, and said those funds might
not be available in the future if the
water plan is approved.
Austin Mayor Carole McClel
lan, chairman of a committee
promoting passage of the water
plan, criticized demonstrators
who campaigned against the
amendment outside the Capitol.,
