DETROIT (AP) – A city council member’s decision to leave a hearing on Detroit’s strip club ordinance may have pushed a vote on the issue into the new year.
The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press report that about 200 people filled council chambers Friday to hear testimony on proposed changes to the ordinance. But Sheila Cockrel walked out, leaving the council one member shy of a quorum.
The council still needs to have discussion, then schedule a vote. It goes on break Nov. 20 and isn’t scheduled to return until Jan. 5
Council members are considering banning the sale of alcohol and requiring dancers to wear pasties, which are worn over the nipples. A federal judge in 2007 struck down Detroit’s regulations on where strip clubs could open and ordered them rewritten.
