Texas Republicans have signed a law preventing local governments- including cities with populations into the millions- from self-governing. Water restrictions in a drought? Can't do them. Laws to prevent pollution? Nope. Local regulations for higher wages? Also no.

I know that linking the GOP and common sense rather stupid. If they had any level of this they would realise that local issues such as water managent are usualy better done with local authorities making decisions as they know the area and land, know local experts who can advise on a local level but also can work with other experts and local authorities to coordinate efforts.
