Ito the military.
“The military is Texas’
Ibiggest business,” said state
■Sen. Eliot Shapleigh, D-EI Paso.
■ “That is worth protecting.”
Also on the ballot will be
■ Proposition 1, which asks voters
to allow the state’s Veterans
Land Board to use assets from
other programs to operate and
maintain nursing homes for vet
erans and build new ones.
Shapleigh, who chairs the
Senate’s subcommittee on base
realignment and closure, pegged
the economic impact of the state’s
bases at $49 billion per year.
If approved, Proposition 20
would allow the state to sell
bonds to build a loan fund of up
to $250 million that cities and
counties could use to finance
public projects.
Michael Dalby, president of
the chamber of commerce in
San Angelo, home to
Goodfellow Air Force Base, said
the West Texas city could take
out a loan to improve water and
sewer lines that serve
Goodfellow or buy acreage for
Air Force use.
“It could help us to have
more land available for training
and expanded operations,”
Dalby said.
Improvements would protect
Goodfellow’s existing missions
and make it more attractive as a
place to move assets from shut
tered bases, he said.
Tom Rumora, director of
Brooks City-Base in San
Antonio praised Proposition
20’s intentions.
“Any financial mechanism that
supports military-base efficiency,
conversion or redevelopment is a
good thing to do,” he said.
Rumora said having access to
a loan fund could also help lure
a coveted, nonmilitary project,
such as a national vaccine pro
duction center that San Antonio
officials would love to have at
Brooks, one of the Air Force’s
top medical research bases.
Opponents of Proposition 20
say there are no assurances that
communities that borrow to pay
for upgrades won’t end up los
ing their bases anyway. In that
scenario, they might have a
depleted local economy and a
big debt on their hands.
The Texas Military
Preparedness Commission
would oversee the loan program.
Shapleigh said that potential
borrowers would undergo bank
like scrutiny by the commission
before any money changes
hands.
