What to Know: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said recently “he’s considering a proposal that would put the state in charge of policing a large portion of the city…” The proposal comes in response to the city of Austin’s adoption of a radical budget that defunds the police.
The TPPF Take: Austin defunded the police and put people’s lives in danger. Soon, state lawmakers will get a chance to respond.
“The Texas Legislature has a responsibility to ensure that its political subdivisions—which are creatures of the State—are governing in a manner befitting the people of Texas. And when those entities do not, then it’s up to state lawmakers to step in and make things right,” says TPPF’s James Quintero.
