Pugh likens crackdown on strip clubs, racial discrimination

Detroit –City Council President Charles Pugh today likened passing ordinances to shut down strip clubs to laws that segregated blacks during an interview on a religious radio station.
Speaking to WQLV-AM 1500 host Paul Edwards hours after a contentious debate about a crackdown on Detroit’s 33 clubs, Pugh said the city can’t pass regulations that “unduly target” strip clubs and twice referred to the civil-rights struggle to make his point.

Pugh challenged Winans to join him to work with the clubs to better patrol crime outside of them, but Winans said he’d only help if Pugh returns the alcohol ban and pasties rule. He followed by saying that the strip club owners don’t live in the city and their children don’t have to walk by the businesses.
