Detroit –It appears that the Detroit City Council won’t vote this year on a strip club proposal, which would ban alcohol and require dancers wear opaque pasties, because it didn’t have enough members show up at today’s meeting.
President Kenneth Cockrel Jr. officially ended the meeting about noon after only four members showed: Cockrel, Kwame Kenyatta, JoAnn Watson and Brenda Jones. Five were needed for a quorum.
Councilwoman Sheila Cockrel briefly showed around 10 a.m. but left. She has been a critic of the crackdown. The council had planned to introduce the regulations today so it would have enough time to vote on the changes at its last meeting of the year scheduled for Nov. 20. Now that can’t happen.

“I am disgusted with passing from east to west and only seeing (the strip clubs) on the Detroit side,” said Belinda Scott, who attends Perfecting Church. “Is this all we can offer our young girls? No, I think we can do better.”
