Craddick's Chance: House can help Texas by restoring water fee
DallasNews.com | News for Dallas, Texas | Opinion: Editorials: "Senate Bill 3 called for the state to levy a fee on residents and businesses after they use more than 5,000 gallons per month. These funds would have helped finance water projects like those needed for Lake Palestine and rural West Texas.
GOP House Speaker Tom Craddick of Midland can do his state – and home region – a huge favor by getting his chamber to reinstate the fee. Ditto for Democratic Rep. Robert Puente of San Antonio, who chairs the House Natural Resources Committee. The legislation sits in his committee, and Mr. Puente could earn a reputation as a forward-thinking leader by restoring the conservation fee."
