@TexasTribune @propublica Accurate description of the administrative and "local match" costs associated with low interest loans + grants from state (and federal) sources. Applications needed to minimize wasteful spending + matches needed to stretch non-local $ and to ensure local skin in the game.

I encourage folks to vote FOR Proposition 4. It will provide $20 billion for #water infrastructure investments without a tax increase.

[Governor Hot Wheels @GovHotWheels_TX]

Texas!

Early voting is already underway, and we need YOU to vote YES on Prop 4!

Prop 4 dedicates $1 billion annual funding for critical water projects to ensure Texans have reliable water sources.

[Dan Patrick @DanPatrick]

As Texas grows, so does our demand for water. Proposition 4 creates the Texas Water Fund, providing critical funding to improve and expand our state’s water infrastructure. Vote 𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩 𝟒 to help ensure Texas has the water we need to keep growing. #txlege

The #flooding disaster in Central #Texas has been heartbreaking. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a family member in a tragedy like this. It has made me consider (again) how our society thinks about disasters and how we allocate our resources.

@RenzoDowney @CodyforTexas Is there a tradition of gavel sabotage? 😁

@PortlandCorps #infrastructure + #cats = yay!

@hollyshansen Interesting to include past mobility investments. The Harris County Community Flood Resilience Task Force proposed considering past flood mitigation investments as a criteria for where future investments should be made also.
