Libertarians Tear Hair Out In Missouri
Nudity or lap dances in strip clubs?
Now illegal!
Adult entertainment businesses plan to ask a judge to block a new law that would prohibit lap dances and full nudity in Missouri strip clubs.
The Missouri chapter of Adult Club Executives plans to seek an injunction next week against the law, scheduled to take effect Aug. 28, said Kansas City attorney Richard Bryant, who represents the group.
The legislation, signed Wednesday by Gov. Matt Blunt, would prohibit customers and employees younger than 21 at strip clubs. It also would ban nudity and require seminude employees to remain at least 10 feet away from customers and behind a 2-foot-high railing. The bill would prohibit employees from touching customers.
Drinking in public?
Now legal!
For revelers in Kansas City's downtown entertainment district, the party won't have to end at the door.
A law signed by Gov. Matt Blunt will allow patrons to stroll in and out of restaurants and bars without dumping their alcoholic beverages. Kansas City officials are reworking the city's alcohol ordinance to make it conform with the state's law.
We Libertarians would rather not trade one vice for another because we just cannot choose which one we like best.
