This is a blow to open government, no doubt, but in a concurring opinion, Greg Abbott-appointed justice Evan Young really wilds out, contemplating that the governor of Texas is a "unitary executive." What?
Texas Supreme Court rules that trial courts do NOT have the authority to compel the governor and attorney general to release info under the public information act. Nonprofit @weareoversight had sought records about Jan. 6 and Uvalde. Background: houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…
As a wise man once said: "Never let a good tragedy go to waste—always tweet the first dumb thing that comes into your head."
We must not allow this great tragedy to be used to grow government.
