City of San Antonio sues Texas over newly adopted 'Death Star' bill

As anticipated, the city of San Antonio is suing the state of Texas over its so-called "Death Star Bill," a law recently passed by the Republican-led legislature designed to limit local control. The legislation, HB 2171, empowers businesses and people to sue municipalities for locally adopted rules and regulations that go further than existing state law. Critics argue the measure, championed by Gov. Greg Abbott, is a bid by the Texas GOP to punish San Antonio and other big Texas cities, which are largely run by Democrats.
