Houston official wants morality clause in venue contracts
Associated Press

HOUSTON - A county commissioner seeking to avoid repeats of surprises like Janet Jackson's breast-baring Super Bowl halftime show says he wants a clause added to contracts of all entertainers who perform at such events.

Harris County Commissioner Steve Radack says a so-called "morality clause" would be included for performances at county-owned facilities like Reliant Stadium, Reliant Center and Reliant Astrodome.

"I'm not trying to push to dictate society's morals," Radack said Tuesday. "But I will say this: As a member of Commissioners Court and a 20 percent vote on these facilities, I believe it is clearly appropriate to set some standard." (snip)

"Basically, I want to make it clear that in county venues, we expect wholesome entertainment, and basically set some parameters," Radack said.

Harris County is also the district in Texas that has the highest percentage of maximum incarceration and death penalty verdicts.

I hardly think Mr. Radack can lecture (or legislate) andyone on morality...
