The Texas Legislature looks like it’s finally ready to pass some
long-overdue corrective oversight on local government overreach:
Local elected and community leaders are denouncing what they’re calling the “Death Star” bill — legislation they say would strip the city and county of its power to enforce local laws protecting its residents.
House Bill 2127 is being debated Tuesday on the House Floor and it’s getting backlash from local officials across the state and in the Houston-area. The bill was filed by Republican State Representative Dustin Burrows of Lubbock and leaders are concerned that the bill limits the authority that the City of Houston and Harris County would have to enforce some laws and would give more control to the state.
The bill would prevent local governments from regulating changes in state codes such as agriculture, finance, insurance, labor, natural resources and occupations.
Left wing city councils that endanger their residents through stunts like defunding police and declaring themselves sanctuary cities had this coming. And I’m pretty sure that Austin is offender A-1, followed by Queen Lena’s fiefdom in Harris County.
