Anyone having a drive-thru for the petitition to repeal the silly strip-club law? Maybe these two petitions could share space that day?

Not so silly for the people who earn their living stripping

The petition drive to place the issue on the ballot was already sucessful and the issue will be submitted to the entire electorate.

Good point. I was making the point that it was silly to have made it to law in the first place but you are correct, for those in the biz, it is far from silly.

So the move to put this strip club thing on the ballot succeeded but the petition to put the new tax increase on the ballot failed. Hmmm... Maybe the anti-tax people should hire more strippers and "get out the vote!" as it were.

The stripper petition circulators were hired and paid by the strip club owners to collect signatures through a company.

I appreciate the efforts of anyone who signed or circulated petitions- for free- for a cause they believe in.
