Texas to Oppose Oklahoma Law

The good thing about the kind of government that the country has is that there is a check and balance. Those who are working the law and doing the legislation can create bills which they think may be good for the people and there are also those who can interpolate and think if the bill is right. If not, they can veto the bill so that it is not passed. Or if it really something that a certain state or the whole country needs, they can approve it and then implement it.

One of the newest pieces of news that is going around is about a law in Oklahoma. This new law (which means that it has already been passed) though is already in hot water though for the officials from Texas are already looking at opposing it. See, it is said that a federal lawsuit has already been filed against it. The lawsuit was set out by the Tarrant Regional Water District. According to the group, they have filed such because the law is saying that those who are not from Oklahoma cannot purchase water from out of the state and those who are not from the state cannot purchase water from the state. Do you think that the law is something that is fair? Is the Tarrant Regional Water District on the right track?

The law is known as the HB 1483. It was just this month of May that the law was passed by the lawmakers from the state of Oklahoma. The group against the law is saying that such a mandate has a hidden purpose which was not said out loud. In fact, they believe that Oklahoma already has policies that are discriminatory and are also unconstitutional. With that, they want to make sure that such a trend does not continue and that not many more will happen like this.

Will the Tarrant Regional Water District win the lawsuit? Or will all their efforts be just put to waste? Well, the general manager of the group, Jim Oliver, is saying that though they may not be really well versed in Lexington law, they believe that they will win this. Lexington law information may be something that they are really knowledgeable about but what is important to them is that they are doing it right and they have the right arguments which will be their weapons towards victory.
