Dallas should join the charge against Texas state overreach | Opinion
. In extreme Texas heat, city-mandated water breaks are a good protection for outdoor workers against abusive business practices. But they fall under the Labor Code, which is covered under this bill.The bill does some good. The problem is it does more bad. It goes too far in handcuffing the state’s more than 1,200 cities that have all sorts of problems the Legislature can’t conceive of.
The Legislature meets for only a few months every other year, leaving communities with a small window to address concerns in their community. Even if the Legislature did manage to get to every issue, regulation that works for one city might not work for another. On top of that, this bill likely means more time and money spent on litigation and legal research for drafting ordinances.Whether or not the lawsuit succeeds, it’s good to see that some on the Dallas City Council want to join the charge against this kind of state overreach.
