House Bill 89, which prohibits government entities from conducting business with companies participating in, or planning to participate in, boycotts of Israel, became a Texas law in 2017.
The city’s resolution states more than $4.4 million in San Marcos residents’ tax dollars went to Israel. Abbott refuted that statement, calling it “hard to believe.”
Abbott on Tuesday said there would be consequences if the resolution passes in a letter sent to San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson.
The letter states that no governmental entity in Texas “may enter into a contract worth $100,000 or more unless it includes a ‘written verification’ that the contracting entity ‘does not boycott Israel’ and ‘will not boycott Israel during the term of the contract.’”
WTF? Why is there a law in Texas that says you can’t boycott Israel in the first place?
Also, Texas is giving over $4 million to Israel? Why would a state give money to a Federal issue?
Texas and Republicans are really something else.
Because they’re bought and paid for by the Israeli government
