Ann Car, chief of staff for Montgomery County Judge Alan B. Sadler, addressed members regarding legislative issues they may want to consider during this session.
“Many of us know that the 81st Texas Legislature is in session and there are many important issues they are discussing,” Carr said. “They will be discussing the conversion of ground to surface water, gaming in Texas and puppy mills.”
According to Carr, the conversion of water from ground to surface is an important issue for residents in Montgomery County because it will decide who will convert to surface water, who will stay on ground water and who will pay for it.
“It will also decide how we are going to get the water to the people,” she said. “Everyone should pay attention to this, because it will affect all of us.”
Gaming in Texas is another hot item that has been discussed for years and more recently after the destruction of Hurricane Ike in Galveston.
“That sounds really easy because most of us think, ‘I am for it. Yes, I want casinos here. Yes, it will create more jobs and tax revenues,’ but there is a flip side. Right now it is called destination resort casinos,” Carr said.
