City council members in the Texas town of Floresville have voted to oust councilman Jim Miller, who they claim isn't a proper resident.

Miller is also an unstinting critic of city spending. Clearly that didn't set well with the council either... http://ow.ly/WEVaZ

Texas lawmakers could soon face an important question: When does the state get to decide that a family should no longer exist as a family?

The solution to this problem is actually rather simple, but it will require lawmakers to pay attention.

Colorado lawmakers couldn't find enough common ground to ban civil asset forfeiture, but can they all at least agree that it's a good idea to require police departments to report the goods and cash they seize from citizens?

Union officials insist right-to-work silences workers, reduces pay and increases the risk of death on the job. In truth, right-to-work laws simply stop unions from taking forced dues.

American workers are protected from mandatory labor union dues in 25 states, and the number is likely to increase in 2016.
