Detroit Strip Clubs: New-look Detroit council faces tough issues

January 4, 2010 at 6:12 am | In Detroit strip clubs | No Comments

Detroit — A newly revamped Detroit City Council will launch its first official day with a meeting Tuesday, and there is no shortage of thorny issues ahead, including proposals to borrow $250 million, crack down on strip clubs and overturn a land sale under federal scrutiny.
Five of the nine members are new to the council, including President Charles Pugh. All of the newcomers ran on platforms promising to reform the council.

In addition, the council could take up a controversial crackdown on strip clubs, including a ban on alcohol and lap dances. Returning Councilwoman JoAnn Watson has pushed for the changes, in response to neighborhood safety concerns. But Pugh said that he is opposed. He said he would rather spend time making sure police are patrolling for illegal behavior outside the clubs, instead of further legislating what goes on inside them.
