Attorney General Ken Paxton won’t defend Texas Ethics Commission as his allies try to gut it
Attorney General Ken Paxton refuses to defend the Texas Ethics Commission in court as one of his largest political donors sues to dismantle the agency.
A newly revived lawsuit threatens
to strip the ethics commission’s power to enforce state laws that shine a light on where politicians get their money.
The lawsuit is the latest in a yearslong siege from
Empower Texans, a tea party group
that promotes small government and low taxes and aggressively campaigns against establishment Republicans.
In a budget request to state lawmakers filed last month, the commission said it will need $600,000 to pay a private lawyer to defend it in court because the attorney general will not.
