City council had to approve an ordinance to send out the payments and it took two readings at city council meetings to get it approved. First of all we had to decide if we were going to have enough money after we paid for a lot of the things we had to implement to make sure our citizens were safe, Gomez said.

The distinct lines of how the bill is perceived were well-illustrated in a committee hearing at the Texas House of Representatives on Tuesday. On one side, proponents have pointed to the bill as an opportunity for new port investment, promoted as a means to diversify  the port s portfolio as well as benefit specific economically disadvantaged areas.
