	Devolution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The issue of Irish home rule was the dominant political question of British politics at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.
		This demand led to the eventual introduction of four Irish Home Rule Bills, of which only the last two were approved by the British Parliament, and only the final one was enacted: the Government of Ireland Act 1920.
		The home rule demands of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century differed from earlier demands for Repeal by Daniel O'Connell in the first half of the nineteenth century.

	Home Rule
		Municipal home rule jurisprudence consists largely in demarcating the boundaries between those areas of local affairs and government that are within the legislative purview of cities and villages and those areas that are of statewide concern and, therefore, subject to control by the legislature.
		The home rule amendment limits legislative authority in the area of local affairs and government, but it does not limit legislative authority in allowing cities and villages to regulate matters of statewide concern.
		An exception to this rule is that the legislature may enact legislation relating to a public policy area that is under a city’s or village’s home rule authority if the enactment uniformly applies to every city or village in the state.

	Handbook of Texas Online: HOME RULE CHARTERS
		With the birth of the republic, the municipality became the county and the urban regions began to be incorporated, first by the Texas Congress and, after 1845, by the state legislature.
		The charter may not contain any provision that is inconsistent with the state constitution or statutes, a restriction that still leaves these cities with more "home rule" than the cities of any other state in the nation, according to a report by the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, a federal research body.
		Nevertheless, urban experts generally consider that home rule in Texas is effective and that the decentralization of authority from Austin has been and remains an excellent example of local initiative and responsibility.

	Ann Rule's Official Home Page
		Extracting behind-the-scenes details, Rule makes these volatile relationships utterly real, and masterfully re-creates the ill-fated chains of events in such cases as the Washington Husky "football star" (or was he?) who seduced vulnerable women and then destroyed their lives...the killer whose calling card was a single blood red rose.
		Rule once again validates her standing as one of the pre-eminent chroniclers of modern serial murder, calling upon her experience as a former police officer and a civilian adviser to the VICAP Task Force to present a nuanced and easily comprehensible account of the hunt for the man responsible for at least 48 killings.
		Rule also captures the profound sadness pervading this grim chapter in U.S. crime history by humanizing the grieving relatives, as well as the dedicated investigators who, tragically, had interviewed Ridgway several times and then moved on to other suspects.
