What Ken Paxton has put his family through is truly repulsive and disgusting. No one should have to endure what Angela Paxton has, and we pray for her as she chooses to stand up for herself and her family during this difficult time.
The EPA proposed an unprecedented budget cut for FY 2026 - over 50%, targeted heavily on compliance and enforcement. Evidently there's still room for spending money on this though.
