Detroit Strip Clubs: LINCOLN PARK: City Council follows judge’s order and approves strip club

LINCOLN PARK — A contentious fight amongst city officials over a strip club coming to town came to an end tonight when the City Council voted unanimously to approve a liquor license transfer for the club.
Four council members were hauled into federal court earlier today after they voted to postpone taking action on the transfer last week in violation of an earlier court ruling that dictated the council approve the liquor license when it came before them.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds told the four council members — Valerie Brady, Mariano DiSanto, Thomas Murphy and Michael Myers — that they would have faced contempt of court charges had they not approved the matter tonight. The judge also said they could have been fined $12,000 a day for disobeying the consent agreement reached last year.
