Jack, you only added facts to a thread my friend. I'll add a little more info that shouldn't move this to PARF, it is not debatable.
97 was my first year fully engaged in the legislature, I remember that fight well. For those that don't know, water is the biggest fight in the legislature, not redistricting, or the budget, but water.
East Texas will not let it go, so inter-basin transfers do not happen. You have to buy the water rights, and it's always a Jr.
I quit lobbying shortly after we killed a bill which would have allowed for transfer of down stream flow belonging to the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (GBRA) to the San Antonio Water System (SAWS). The vote was 71-74.
Morally, I couldn't do it anymore. The people of San Antonio needed the water, now the whole state does.
