Anything Rick Perry is for has to have a hidden agenda that profits him or someone in his family or circle of pals. Haven't done early voting yet but plan to vote against it.

Another good blog post on why to vote NO on Prop 6

Briefly, there's really nothing in the proposition itself to push for conservation efforts, and North Texas and the Hellhole, namely snootier DFW and Houston suburbs, aren't doing anything about it on their own, and didn't during this summer's drought. 

Here's a nugget:
 

The Texas Water Development Board confirmed that some households in the Fort Worth area have provided irrigation of landscaped yards through the winter months in spite of the drought. In 2011, the state’s driest year on record, much of Fort Worth’s public water, estimated 45 percent, went to landscape watering. By contrast, the City of San Antonio estimated 25 percent of public water was used for watering and landscape purposes for the same period.

The Metroplex and Greater Houston as a whole as a whole use about 40 percent more per capita than not just dryland El Paso, but also as Austin.

*****

For me I agree with the above. It's not about conservation. Otherwise, people would be stopped from watering lawns jsut to keep them green. Somebody is going to profit from SELLING WATER if this passes.
