House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance.

“We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”

    Oh man… what sort of people come up with these laws? It’s already bad enough to only have 10 minutes every 4 hours, now they want to take that away too? Wtf is happening.

      A governor who made his millions off of suing a property owner when a tree fell and broke his back.

      Never worked a hard day in his life, let alone worked outside.

      Someone should wheel him outside on one of these 100+ degree days and tell him he can’t drink until his 8 hours are over.
