Show Notes
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is pressuring Governor Greg Abbott to replace acting Comptroller Kelly Hancock with Republican primary winner Don Huffines, citing Hancocks alleged weakening of the states defense in key lawsuits related to the TEFA school voucher program. Paxton blames Hancock for undermining his offices defenses in TEFA challenges and accuses her of making it impossible to represent the comptrollers office effectively. The tension escalated after Hancock criticized Paxtons handling of cases involving Islamic schools and groups, who are now suing state leaders for exclusion from the voucher program. Despite Hancocks silence and Abbotts lack of response, Paxton remains committed to defending the program and vows to continue fighting for it.
