Sierra Club refuses to take sides
in proposed statewide water plan
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The Sierra Club’s
Texas chapter refused to take sides
Monday on the proposed $1.4 bil
lion statewide water plan, its leaders
saying they will make no recommen
dation to voters who will decide the
plan’s fate Nov. 5.
Comparing the plan to hall a glass
of water, chairman Howard Saxion
said the club couldn’t decide
whether to consider the glass half
full or half empty.
“There’s some good things in it
and some bad things in it,” Saxion
said. “We leave it to the voters to de
cide whether the water in the glass
should be accepted, added to or
poured out.”
The Sierra Club, Texas’ largest
environmental group, also ham
mered Gov. Mark White over what it
said was his failure to provide lead
ership on water problems.
"What appalled us somewhat was
that at the outset of the legislative
session, the governor said, ‘A water
package is my No. 1 priority,’ and
left it at that,” said Ken Kramer,
Sierra Club lobbyist.
White, who was attending a
Southern Governors Association
meeting in Miami, didn’t respond di
rectly to the criticism.
In a statement issued by aides,
White said, “I am pleased the Sierra
Club has identified elements of the
proposed Texas water plan that it
can support.”
The water plan is made up of two
proposed constitutional amend
ments. One would authorize $980
million in bonds for water devel
opment projects and extend $250
million in state credit to guarantee
local government projects. The sec
ond would authorize $200 million in
bonds for loans to farmers buying
water-saving irrigation equipment.
Some of the plan's backers have
feared strong environmentalist op
position to the long-negotiated pro
posal. Three earlier plans failed
when put to voters. But the Sierra
Club’s neutrality left only the Aubu-
don Society and the Texas Commit
tee on Natural Resources opposing
the plan.
Saxion said the Sierra Club found
positive and negative aspects of the
proposal and distributea a listing of
11 “good” points and 12 “bad”
points.
Among the positives, he said, are
extra financial aid for building wast
ewater treatment facilities and offi
cial encouragement of conservation
practices.
Among the negatives, Saxion said,
are provisions allowing lawmakers to
OK water projects without voter ap
proval and lack-of enforcement for
groundwater management.
