Res Support of Proposition No. 8
Dear Mayor Stephens:
The City of Hondo believes that the State of Texas is in
need of additional correctional and mental health treatment
E institutions to maintain law and order throughout the State and
to help facilitate the treatment acid rehabilitation of inmates at
correctional and mental health institutions. We are writing to
enlist your support to help ensure that these goals are met.
As you are probably already aware, the 71st Legislature
enacted Senate Joint Resolution 24 which proposes an amendment to
the Texas Constitution for the issuance of general obligation
bonds for acquiring, constructing or equipping correctional
institutions, youth correctional institutions and mental health
and mental retardation institutions. SJR 24 will appear on the
November 7, 1989 general election ballot as Proposition No. 8.
We are enclosing a Resolution, which the Hondo City Council is
scheduled to adopt on September 14, 1989, supporting the passage
of Proposition No. 8, We ask that your City consider adopting
the draft Resolution at your next meeting and joining us in
support of Proposition No. 8. If your council adopts the
'J~ Resolution, please send me a copy at the above address.
