Harris County Appeals to Texas Supreme Court to Resume $500 Payments to Low-Income Families as Legal Dispute Persists
According to Axios Huston, Harris County‘s plan to give $500 monthly to around 1,900 low-income families is facing a problem. The Texas Supreme Court is deciding if it’s okay legally. Attorney General Ken Paxton is saying the program breaks the Texas Constitution. He thinks it’s wrong for local governments to give money to people.
Even though a judge said the Uplift Harris program was okay Paxton asked the Supreme Court to stop it. The Court agreed and paused the payments for now. Harris County is asking the Court to let the payments continue while they figure things out.
