TMA supports passage of Proposition 2 on the Nov. 8 ballot. It gives the Texas Water Development Board authority to issue up to $6 billion in general obligation bonds to support Texas communities' ability to construct and maintain job-creating, local water projects that provide clean, affordable water.
Supporters say the proposal – which the legislature authorized earlier this year – will not cost state taxpayers any money, and the bonds will save local taxpayers money when building and financing water projects. The bonding authority granted by Proposition 2 is designed to be self-supporting, meaning that the bonds issued are repaid by the debt service of the borrowers and therefore do not count against the state's constitutional debt limit.
