得克萨斯州GOP提出法案 让州政府就政策起诉城市 并在诉讼期间冻结其税收 Texas GOP advances bills to let state sue cities over policies, freeze their taxes during lawsuits.

得克萨斯州共和党立法者正在提出法案,这些法案可能从财政上限制城市采取渐进政策,允许州总检察长对被认为的侵权行为起诉地方政府,并在诉讼期间冻结其销售和财产税收。 Texas Republican lawmakers are advancing bills that could financially restrict cities adopting progressive policies by allowing the state attorney general to sue local governments over perceived violations and freezing their sales and property tax revenues during lawsuits. 批评者认为,这些措施会“在财政上拷打”城市,限制了他们为居民服务的能力,并使总检察长对地方条例控制过度。 Critics argue the measures would "financially handcuff" cities, limiting their ability to serve residents and giving the attorney general excessive control over local regulations. 这些法案由参议院通过,正前往众议院。 The bills passed the Senate and are heading to the House.
