State rep gives update

State Rep. Jared Patterson shared a litany of state law changes as well as a heads up regarding upcoming ballot measure in Pilot Point on Sept. 25.

That included an amendment to fund the state's plan for water, an increasingly pressing issue in the face of nearly exponential growth in North Texas.

'You'll have an opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment this November that sets up a new fund to fund water that would put $20 million into that fund over the next 20 years or $1 million a year over the next 20 years,' he said.
