Well, here we go again. Local officials are pissing and moaning about the county brothel ordinance. First off there has been no operating brothel here in well over a year, mainly because of the way the ordinance is written. Secondly they put it up to a vote to repeal the ordinance this last election and over 60% of the county said to keep the brothels. If they were smart they will modify the ordinance to bring it in line with the other county’s that have brothels, and get one operating so we can get some tax dollars off of it. Personally I do not really care, but I find it strange that this is the only military installation I have been to that did not have one strip bar within a 50-minute drive. The closest is in Reno, which is a little over an hour away. I think there is some kind of an ordinance against adult entertainment, (Hookers are legal but strippers are not). We have around 8 Casinos or more here in a town of about 4000 or so, but very little entertainment unless you go to Reno. I guess if you like to gamble there is all the entertainment you need. We have a military facility that gets a large rotation of personnel in for training, and most of those that come to train do not stay here but go to Reno for entertainment. That could be a huge source of revenue that the city coffers are missing out on. Oh well, it still beats the place in Oklahoma where I was at before I came here. Ok, putting the soapbox away until next week.
