Montgomery County voters should be fuming at commissioners’ jail actions

Issues: 

In 2006, Montgomery County Commissioners Court unanimously issued $45 million in revenue bonds (no voter approval necessary) to finance the clumsy scheme known as the Joe Corley Jail.

Is "Refusing to Rule" a New Form of Judicial Activism?

Issues: 

Judicial Activism?  No Decision IS a DecisionIt seems a trend of judicial activism is growing in our federal courts. Judges have apparently learned they can advance their own agenda through what appears to be a new form of judicial activism - doing nothing! Judge Robert Gerber in the Southern District of New York Bankruptcy Courts has been doing this for years by not ruling on motions before him in the LyondellBasell bankruptcy case. Now it seems Washington, DC Federal District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has learned this trick in relation to the Contempt of Congress charges filed against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.

Houston City Council Poised to Attack Wage Theft, Payroll Fraud and Misclassification

Houston City HallTexasGOPVote has been reporting on issues regarding wage theft, payroll fraud and employee misclassification for several years now. Recently the Texas Legislature passed legislation to help clamp down on some companies that are misclassifying their workers as independent contractors instead of employees. This practice cheats the taxpayers of Texas and creates an unfair business competitive advantage over companies that follow the law. Now the Houston City Council is considering passing an ordinance to crack down on unethical companies who cheat employees out of hard earned wages.

An article by Laura Perez-Boston on ConstructionCitizen.com reports that a grassroots coalition of workers from 34 business and civic organizations have

Obama: Put More Black Kids in Prison Program

Issues: 

Obama has more excuses than he has scandals concerning the myriad of problems in the black community, including the bad behavior of black kids in schools.

In his latest “I hate imperialist white America” action, Obama wants to regulate schools’ disciplinary actions so that penalties are more fair.

I’ve been greatly concerned by Mozilla’s new “cookie clearinghouse” code that will be added to their latest Firefox update. The clearinghouse will automatically engage the 3rd cookie blocker on the browser, which could lead to a massive drop in revenue for internet-based businesses and change the flow of free information on the web.

Mozilla knows that engaging the cookie blocker as a default setting will have a negative effect on internet commerce. Their position is that anyone will be able to disable

Long Border Entry Wait Times Hurt Our Economy

A component of comprehensive immigration reform that too often is overlooked in Washington is the tremendous amount of legal trade flowing across our southern border. Since NAFTA went into effect in 1994, American commerce with Mexico has exploded. Exports to our southern neighbor have increased by over 300 percent, while imports have grown by a remarkable 460 percent. Today, there are more than 6 million American jobs that rely on trade with Mexico, including over 460,000 in Texas, alone. Read more about Long Border Entry Wait Times Hurt Our Economy
