The law Abbott signed in ’21 explicitly makes an exception for loss of grant funding – the very punishment the governor’s chosen for HPD to the tune of $110 million. Since the law isn’t ambiguous, the situation is clear: The one “defunding” law enforcement in Houston is the governor in Austin
Let’s get
real.
It’s not
exactly news to anyone at the Texas Capitol that Gov. Greg
Abbott would misrepresent a law he signed or that he would use an
immigration issue to broadside Houston Mayor John Whitmire, who’s gone
out of his way to avoid conflict with the Republican governments in Austin and
Washington.
For his
effort, Whitmire’s been condemned by the Harris County Democratic Party
and now his constituents are being severely punished by Abbott, though there’s
chatter out of city hall that there may be some level of coordination between the
two in an attempt to corral city council ahead of a
possible vote on HPD policy this week.
Regardless,
there’s added urgency to calling BS on Abbott when the lives of Texans are on
the line because of a giant loss in public safety resources in the nation’s
fourth largest city as it prepares to host an international event that, of
course, could be the target of international terrorism while the United States
is at war in the Middle East.

Through his attorney, Abbott said the court needs to get to work on this because of recent developments including last week’s Texas House Administration vote on fines for quorum breaking; Wu says no way Jose
With the
case pretty stale and just as silly as it was last year, Gov. Greg Abbott
on Thursday told the Texas Supreme Court that recent developments
– notably last week’s Texas House committee vote to impose fines
on quorum breakers – should prompt justices to take a fresh look at throwing
House Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu from office altogether.
Remember
that? Yeah, it’s easy to forget.
