SocraticGadfly: Why are Texas cities suing NOW over the "death star"?

Why are Texas cities suing NOW over the "death star"?

I mean, in reality, the Lege has been cutting home rule rights for years. The plastic bags issue. The fracking in city limits issue. And, in both those cases and others, Tex-ass courts have said yes after lawsuits.

For that matter, there's previous measures that cities DIDN'T sue over. One, about which I blogged with last year's heatwave, was the Lege banning local cities from setting minimum building standards, including minimum insulation standards. That was 2019, IIRC.
