Comment on Two DC Water Events on 24 February 2010 – Postponed by Dan Puroclean

From the Great Lakes to Puget Sound, from the Mississippi River to the Everglades, and from Chesapeake Bay to the Colorado – we can only protect the great waters of America if we safeguard the countless streams that feed them and the millions of acres of wetlands that help keep them clean. Perhaps that is why the Senate EPW committee rejected the spurious arguments of powerful polluters and instead voted to restore protections vital to America’s great waters. As its name indicates, the Clean Water Restoration Act does no more than restore the original scope of the Clean Water Act that our nation adopted some 37 years ago – to protect all the waters of the United States.

Comment on A National Water Vision and Reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program by Dan Puroclean

According to the fiscal note, SB 2284 would authorize TWDB to issue an additional $50 million in general obligation bonds for grants under EDAP, instead of using self-supporting loans. Of that $50 million, $34 million already has been provided as loans, leaving $16 million that could be provided as grants. Since that $16 million would be awarded as grants instead of loans, the debt service would have to come from general revenue funds. The debt service for the loans under current statute would have been paid by loan repayments.
