PROCLAMATION BY THE G5iernor of flte*tnte t Of liexaz 41-3005 TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME: Pursuant to Article IV, Section 14, of the Texas Constitution, I, Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, do hereby disapprove of and veto Senate Bill No. 433 as passed by the Seventy- Ninth Texas Legislature, Regular Session, because of the following objections: Senate Bill No. 433 would give private citizens broad powers of a public author ty with little public accountability. The airport districts allowed in this bill would have the power to condemn public and private property, the ability to sell bonds without the approval of the Attorney General, exempt them from municipal zoning laws, and place no requirements for competitive bidding. Under current law, cities have sufficient statutory authority to build and operate airports and have no need for special airport districts. Counties interested in operating an airport have the ability to apply to the Texas Department of Transportation for the formation of a Regional Mobility Authority. Knowing 1he importance of general aviation to our state, I will direct the Texas Transportation Commission to study statewide general aviation issues and develop legislative recommendations for the 80th legislature. Since the Legislature by its adjournment has prevented the return of this bill, I am filing these objections in the office of the Secretary of State and giving notice thereof by this public proclamation according to the aforementioned constitutional provision. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have signed my name officially and caused the Seal of the State to be affixed hereto at Austin, this 17th day of June, 2005. RICK PERRY Governor of Texas
