As part of his crusade to enforce fellow Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s orders barring government entities from requiring face masks and vaccinations to combat COVID-19, Paxton even set up a website urging Texans to rat out school districts and other local entities that implement such requirements.
So, how’s that working out? Not too well, judging from the growing number of violators listed on Paxton’s tip site.
