About six hours ago the local government here in Louisville more or less banned strip clubs. An ordinance was passed that stipulates the following:
1. No nudity (pasties and g-strings must be worn at all times)
2. No alcohol
3. Business to end at 1:00 AM
4. 6 foot rule
This is a pretty draconian set of rules if you ask me. It will go back to the courts I'm sure, but I'm not holding out much hope for a positive outcome.
I'd also like to add that the local government has spent several hundred thousand dollars on their war on adult businesses. Meanwhile, they also failed to establish an agreement about the city budget, going before the governor who told them to go away and clean up their own god damn mess.
I have to say that I hate this place. I'm born and raised here, and for the first time in my life I can say that this is the absolute worst fucking place on earth.
I've got some questions.
1. Other than Cincinatti is there any other major metropolitan area with such an overbearing, overreaching code or ordinance?
2. I assume that their have been situations like this in the past. What have been the outcomes?
3. How likely is this ordinance to stick?
And finally,
What can a poor, pissed off college student do to help?
Fuck The Louisville Metro Council.
