Here’s the 8:45 a.m. update from Grace Schneider of the Courier-Journal.
New Albany will tighten adult-club regulations
With about 40 members of an anti-pornography group looking on last night, New Albany City Attorney Shane Gibson told the city council that he has enlisted a legal expert to help draft a new ordinance to help tighten regulation of adult-entertainment businesses.
It strikes me that as is the case with Cleopatra’s Adult Bookstore, the II Horseshoes now will benefit from the city’s inadequacies with respect to (a) writing coherent ordinances, and (b) enforcing them. I
n effect, both establishments are grandfathered in, with future competitors precluded, and enforceable rules coming into effect after the businesses have staked their market niches.
They may be guilty of flagrant bad taste … but they ain’t stoopid.
