So I did a little reasearch into the the Texas Water Project and found that Brailyn's blog info is correct that there is too much money for a seemingly incomplete plan.  Wanting to know more about where the rest of that money will be going I found the drafts for the project and read parts A, B, and C.  The Water project is wanting this funding to pay for a few pipelines and the water itself and at no cost to us thanks to a loan from the the TWDB.  That's not right because they want fifty-three billion dollars as a loan from the TWDB plus another twenty-six billion dollars coming from financial assistance programs to perform the project in 2012; this will all be payed back with our tax-payer dollars.  The total quota for this project is two hundred and thirty-one billion which still has yet to be provided.  Also when I read through the draft of the supposed plan, there was no mention of what exactly will be done only elusion to things that had been done in the past.  This plan is more like a history of water disasters and relief in texas coupled with a ton of statistics on water consumption.  That is alot of money and wanting to know where it is going is a valid concern seeing as we are going to be footing a portion of the bill over the next couple years.
