Your Tax Dollars at Work

Taxpayers in Texas are being forced to cough up $50,000 to pay a strip club owner for damages following the erroneous revocation of the club's sexually oriented business permit. If that isn't bad enough, a similar lawsuit is pending between Lubbock County and an adult video and book store, so another taxpayer payout is likely. Ironically, the owner of the Boom Boom Cabaret will also now be involved in any rewriting of the local laws governing his own business. Government should get out of the business of legislating morality and put it back in the church pulpit where it belongs.
