The $20 billion “generational investment” has seen some county GOPs come out against it as well as conservative slates in Houston; some private polling apparently suggests it enjoys big support in major urban areas but may be tanking in rural Texas
Back in
January, Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, tried to make clear that this
year would be the last time lawmakers would meet in a regular session with
enough time to get ahead of significant challenges related to water
infrastructure before it’s too late to reach a breaking point given our rapid population
growth and lack of a reliable stream of funding for those critical projects.
That was
after Perry made it a point to travel around Texas to gauge support for overhauling
the way the state pays for its unquenched thirst while the population explodes
and data centers chug water like it’s going out of style. Chair Perry then rolled
out a $5 billion plan. That was just the beginning.
As the
session rolled on, Republicans and Democrats eventually got on board with what’s
become Proposition 4, a $20 billion plan authored by Texas
House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Cody Harris, R-Palestine,
and sponsored by Sen. Perry aimed at setting aside up to $1 billion annually
collected from the state’s number one revenue stream: Sales taxes.
Now that
it’s on the ballot in a low turnout election, some Republican leaders are
privately concerned it may not pass as conservative opposition grows in some of
the parts of the state that need some of this help the most.

"In order to step into what God is calling my family and I into in this next season, I will not be running for re-election for the Texas House. It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to represent Texas House District 93 and to fight for our Texas Conservative values."

Lobby hires, staffer moves, big awards and more
Another
week on the road is in the books. It was nice to see so many of your smiling
faces during the AECT retreat a couple days ago as well as the Linebarger
annual event in Houston last evening. Ross Ramsey and Sen. Paul Bettencourt
made guest appearances as well in addition to many others.
And Uncle
Paul keeps on doing his impersonation of President Trump everywhere he goes.
Meantime,
back in Austin there’s significant career news to share. When you or a friend –
or foe – make a move, the Texas Capitol community will all want to know. And
the most efficient way to disseminate the info is in the pages of Quorum
Report’s People on the Move. Funny, when I say POTM on social media,
the outsiders still don’t know what I’m talking about. But if you use “POTM” in
the subject line of your email, that helps me keep it all straight.
Here’s the
latest edition.

Lt. Gov. Patrick goes all in for Wambsganss with accusations her GOP opponent’s campaign is “satanic” while the Democrat in the race hopes to bank on Republican infighting to attract independents
FORT WORTH
– In the battle over filling the Senate District 9 seat in
Tarrant County, it’s about one type of Southlake Republican versus another.
In a race
that kind of runs like a jungle primary are former Southlake mayor John
Huffman, Patriot Mobile Chief Communications Officer Leigh
Wambsganss, also of Southlake, and Democrat and union president Taylor
Rehmet of Fort Worth.
The battle
has focused on the Republicans, with Wambsganss ratcheting up her campaign
recently by bringing in big names like Steve Bannon, who spoke at an
event for her this week, and reminding potential voters she is backed, like
much of the state’s Republican officeholders, by President Donald Trump.
But if
turnout and recent elections say anything, she’s not necessarily a shoo- in.

On Texas Capital Tonight, Quorum Report Publisher Harvey Kronberg also talked with host James Barragan that Rep. Gina Hinojosa probably starts as a Democratic primary frontrunner for the gubernatorial nomination but of course she or any other would face an incumbent with $100 million in the bank to beat back any challenger.
