State Rep. Leslie Love's bills would regulate strip clubs, its employees

1. They won't do it unless they can make money off it.

2. The club owners' lobbyist will fight it.

3. The legislators do not want to lose the club owners' campaign contributions.

4. It will probably die in committee unless the anti-trafficking crusaders latch on to it.

5. Trump is against it unless he can make money off it.

Maybe we can introduce a bill to regulate the legislature, that's something I would sign on to.

Such regulations are no good. They only apply to strip clubs / adult entertainment too. Making rules that don't apply anywhere else. Much more harmful than the laws against prostitution.

There's a lot to unpack here, after you actually read the article.

1. This is from the Michigan state rep whose district includes some 8 Mile clubs.

2. "They’ve become a part of the fabric of the city and she’s patronized some for both research and a fun night with friends and husbands, as well as $2 lamb chops and inexpensive buckets of beer." Interesting. Makes you wonder if this had anything to do with the recent 8 Mile crackdowns. Might look bad for local authorities if the state rep comes through and has a friend's husband say, "I just got offered sex for $200."

3. The article doesn't get into great detail as to what she's proposing. While I'm a tad nervous, I'm not thinking an annual state inspection and a few guidelines for dressing rooms and anti-trafficking posters are going to change much.

Worth keeping an eye on, though.
