Representative Kino Flores and Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa succeeded in getting Proposition 8 added to the November 3rd Ballot. The ballot measure seeks to amend the Texas Constitution by "authorizing the state to contribute money, property, and other resources for the establishment, maintenance, and operation of veterans hospitals in this state."
The impetus for this proposal came from the fact that many Texas veterans, especially in South Texas, must travel hundreds of miles to obtain the specialized care that they receive because of service-connected disabilities. With the amendment, Flores hopes that Texas would fund the construction of additional facilities for underserved veterans and the Veterans Administration would fund the operation and maintenance of these facilities.
