Texas attorney general investigating decision to exclude Chick-fil-A from San Antonio's airport
Thursday's announcement comes after the San Antonio City Council voted last week to block Chick-fil-A from opening a location in a revamped airport terminal.
Paxton told city councilmembers that his office will examine whether the city's action was unlawful. He called it a"discriminatory decision" based on the religious beliefs of the chain's owners.The Atlanta-based fast-food chain has faced opposition elsewhere over donating millions over the years to groups that oppose same-sex marriage. Paxton has made religious freedom battles a focus of his office since being elected in 2014.
