House Bill 2127 preempts municipalities from enacting legislation in eight areas—with predictable results.
You have to dig into the article to discover that the deaths are completely unrelated to HB 2127. It doesn’t go into effect until September 1st. I’m anti-Abbott and this bill but the author or editor is not being honest here.
I’ve seen a bunch of “anti-texas” reporting lately that takes things out of context. I think it’s just what’s getting these sites clicks at the moment. Abbott, and Texas in general, deserve to be shit on regularly, but most of the articles being written are simply trying to rage-bait leftists the way rightwing outlets have been successfully doing for decades.
Its been happening since the winter storm of 2021, probably even earlier.
