Sixth Street in Austin is one of the nation's most famous "party streets." But is also the location of a Texas-style showdown between the governor, on the one hand, and the local mayor and county judge, on the other, about the regulation of bars and restaurants during the COVID-19 pandemic. This episode looks at the laws underlying their dispute (which just reached the Texas Supreme Court in its first case of 2021), and examines how those laws help explain the broader structure of our modern local governments.
